Former acting United States Deputy Secretary of State, Wendy Sherman suggested on Tuesday that Hillary Clinton lost in November in part because Barack Obama was the first African-American President.

Wendy Sherman told the audience at the Aspen Ideas Festival, “There is no doubt that we just had eight years of an African-American president is not a factor in all that we are experiencing today.”

“When we make a social change, when we make a decision to do something we have never done before, we then take two steps backwards at least.”

“I believe in my bones, among the list, I agree with the list that Sam put out about why Hillary lost but I would add to that it was pretty hard to elect a woman after you’ve elected the first African-American president.”

Strange, the same liberals who blame everything under the sun for Hillary Clinton’s loss will also brag that she received 3 million more popular votes. It really is impressive that all of the factors contributing to Hillary’s loss only impacted the electoral college. So using Wendy Sherman’s ‘logic’, Hillary Clinton got 3 million more votes than Trump in the wrong counties/States because Obama was the first black president. Got it.
