Hillary Clinton says she's 'ready to come out of the woods'
Former US Secretary of State and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said Friday she's "ready to come out of the woods" and help Americans find common ground, the Associated Press reports.
Clinton's gradual return to the public spotlight following her presidential election loss continued with a St. Patrick's Day speech in her late father's Pennsylvania hometown of Scranton.
"I'm like a lot of my friends right now, I have a hard time watching the news. I do not believe that we can let political divides harden into personal divides. And we can't just ignore, or turn a cold shoulder to someone because they disagree with us politically,” the politician said.
She told the Society of Irish Women that it'll be up to citizens, not a deeply polarized Washington, to bridge the political divide.
"I am ready to come out of the woods and to help shine a light on what is already happening around kitchen tables, at dinners like this, to help draw strength that will enable everybody to keep going," said Clinton.
Hillary Clinton did not provide any details on her return to politics.
