Twice-failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton made a surprise appearance at the Tony Awards on Sunday and wasted no time in moving the conversation to her favorite topic: Complaining about President Donald Trump.
During the event, Clinton complained to the audience about getting beat by Trump in 2016.
“Now, I have stood on a lot of stages, but this is very special,” Clinton said before introducing a musical number from “Suffs,” a Broadway show she co-produced.
“And I know a little bit about how hard it is to make change.”
“Suffs” focuses on the women’s suffrage movement and the fight for the right to vote.
“It’s almost impossible to think about what a challenge that was,” Clinton said.
“But now it’s an election year, and we need to be reminded about how important it is to vote.”

During Sunday’s awards, the play’s creator, Shania Taub, won two Tonys for the musical.
Broadway people are my people.

In late April, Clinton told the Associated Press that she related to all the “Suffs” characters.
“I know how important it is to have relationships with the people you’re working for, as you’re taking risks and you’re doing things that have never been done, whether it’s running for president in my case or having a march on Washington in 1913 to try to convince the president and the Congress to adopt the amendment to let women vote,” the former secretary of state said.
“But more than that, I see it as relevant today,” Hillary added.
“We have a lot of challenges in our country.”
Clinton recently blamed American women for her loss in 2020.
She claims female voters were the ones who abandoned her after then-FBI Director James Comey re-opened an investigation into her email server before the election.
“They left me because they just couldn’t take a risk on me, because as a woman, I’m supposed to be perfect,” she claimed, according to The New York Times.
“They were willing to take a risk on Trump — who had a long list of, let’s call them flaws, to illustrate his imperfection — because he was a man, and they could envision a man as president and commander-in-chief.”
The former presidential candidate also appeared frustrated by Americans who feel unenthusiastic about the choice between President Biden and former President Trump during a May appearance on “Morning Joe.”
“We have two old candidates,” she told MSNBC, as Slay News reported.
“One is, yes, old and effective, has passed legislation that I think is going to put America on such a strong footing for the future, is compassionate, cares about people, tries hard to make the right decision, and they are complicated.
“The other is old and dangerous.
“I mean, why is that a hard choice for people?”
