Twice failed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton been playing a prolonged blame game since losing the November presidential election — and her cronies are finally refusing to take the fall.
On Wednesday, Hillary decided to blame the Democratic Party for letting her down — but one DNC insider wasn’t having it, and lashed out at her on Twitter.
Former director of data science for the DNC, Andrew Therriault, went on an expletive-laced Twitter rant after Clinton attempted say she lost the election because of poor data.
“I get the nomination, so I’m now the nominee of the Democratic Party. I inherit nothing from the Democratic Party,” Hillary complained to Recode’s Kara Swisher on Wednesday. “I mean, it was bankrupt. It was on the verge of insolvency. Its data was mediocre to poor, non-existent, wrong. I had to inject money into it.”
While Therriault later deleted his tweets, Twitter user Jimmy Princeton was able to capture the defense he made for himself and his entire data team she was blaming.

And he wasn’t the only one who had to defend himself.
David Radloff, co-founder of the Democratic data and analytic firm Clarity Campaign Labs, tweeted:

Tom Bonier, CEO of Democratic voter-targeting firm Target Smart, told CNN that Hillary’s campaign was, “absolutely standing on the shoulder of the Obama data juggernaut. There’s just no question.”
Even CNN, which earned the nickname “Clinton News Network” during the election for their biased reporting, agreed that Hillary needs to move on.
In an article published Thursday, CNN’s Gregory Krieg calls on Democrats to stop talking about Hillary and her election loss and focus on the bigger issues at hand.
“Whether or not the state of the DNC sata operation was ‘mediocre to poor, nonexistent, wrong,’ in early 2016, as she put it on Wednesday, is not high up on the list of issues facing the party right now.”
The list of why Hillary believes she lost the election is a long one. At one time or another, she has blamed: Russian interference, Julian Assange, misogyny, James Comey, white supremacy, fake news, her own email scandal, and voter suppression.
While Hillary can continue to throw blame around for her failures, one thing is certain: Democrats, like the rest of us, are officially sick her.
