text: While Hillary Clinton said she believes she lost the 2016 presidential race because of meddling, she also took an opportunity to rib Donald Trump. 
   
   "Remember, I did win by more than 3 million votes than my opponent. So, it's like ... really?" Clinton said at the Women for Women International Luncheon in New York. 
   
   When CNN's Christiane Amanpour said, "I feel a tweet coming," Clinton shrugged, "Well, fine." 
   
   "If he wants to tweet about me, I'm happy to be the diversion because we've got lots of other things to worry about. He should worry less about the election and my winning the popular vote than doing some other things that would be important for the country," she said. ||||| Story highlights Clinton has two events in New York Tuesday 
   
   One is a Planned Parenthood dinner 
   
   New York (CNN) Hillary Clinton delivered her most forceful critique of President Donald Trump's 2016 victory on Tuesday, taking personal responsibility for her failed campaign but also pointed to the timing of a letter from FBI Director James Comey and Russian interference as factors. 
   
   "If the election had been on October 27, I would be your president," she told CNN's Christiane Amanpour at a Women for Women International event in New York. 
   
   "I take absolute personal responsibility. I was the candidate, I was the person who was on the ballot. I am very aware of the challenges, the problems, the shortfalls that we had," Clinton said, before adding that she was "on the way to winning until a combination of Jim Comey's letter on October 28 and Russian WikiLeaks raised doubts in the minds of people who were inclined to vote for me and got scared off." 
   
   Clinton, who is currently writing a book that partly reflects on her 2016 loss, added, "The reason I believe we lost were the intervening events in the last 10 days." 
   
   The event marks the latest where Clinton, in a stinging rebuke to Trump, both blames herself for the 2016 loss but also casts the current President as someone aided by outside factors, including the Russian government.

target: – Hillary Clinton takes "absolute personal responsibility" for losing the 2016 presidential election, CNN reports. "Did we make mistakes? Of course we did," the Guardian quotes Clinton as saying during a Women for Women event Tuesday in New York City. "Did I make mistakes? Oh my gosh, yes." She added: “It wasn’t a perfect campaign. There is no such thing." Still, despite "a barrage of negativity, of false equivalency," Clinton says she was "on the way to winning" until James Comey's Oct. 28 letter to the FBI and "Russian WikiLeaks" frightened voters, CNBC reports. "If the election had been on Oct. 27, I would be your president," Clinton said. Those close to Clinton say she's still locked in on Russian interference during the election. The US government now says the Russian government was responsible for hacking John Podesta's emails and releasing them through WikiLeaks just hours after President Trump's damaging Access Hollywood tape broke. Clinton sees the timing as highly suspicious. Clinton added that misogyny also "played a role" in how the election turned out. Though, she pointed out she did win 3 million more votes than Trump. It doesn't appear Clinton is currently planning another run for office. "I am now back to being an activist citizen and part of the resistance," she said.
