"I would have won but for Jim Comey's letter," Clinton says about her loss to Donald Trump on election night. "That stopped my momentum. It really did cause enough people to move away from me. Some of them moved to Trump, some moved to third parties, some didn't vote, but the net effect was pretty clear."

On the show, co-host Sunny Hostin brought up the fact that the Republican party bills itself as "the party of family values" however, many Republicans have been very critical of Hillary staying in her marriage to President Bill Clinton despite infidelity accusations. Critics claim it is a marriage of political convenience as opposed to saying staying in a marriage despite problems is a a family value.
