Hillary Clinton spoke publicly on Wednesday in her first post-election speech at a Children's Defense Fund event in Washington. Clinton spoke of the mandate to fight for America's children and their future, particularly focusing on fighting child poverty. The Democrat also opened up about her disappointment in the election results. "I know many of you are deeply disappointed about the results of the election," she said. "There have been a few times this past week when all I wanted to do was just to curl up with a good book or our dogs, and never leave the house again," Clinton continued. The event honored Clinton for her work for children, and it also honored five high school seniors receiving scholarships from the fund.
