At a recent speech, Hillary Clinton said she is “ready to come out of the woods.”
Hillary Clinton, in her own words, is “ready to come out of the woods.”
She made the comment during a speech given to the Society of Irish Women on St. Patrick’s Day in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
Clinton told the crowd, “I'm like a lot of my friends right now, I have a hard time watching the news.”
But, she said, “I do not believe that we can let political divides harden into personal divides. We can’t just ignore or turn a cold shoulder because we disagree politically. We have to listen to each other and learn from each other.”
Clinton added, “I am ready to come out of the woods and to shine a light on what’s already happening around kitchen tables at dinners like this to help draw strength to enable everyone to keep going, that's the spirit of Scranton.”
Her reference to the woods, according to The Hill, “appears to allude with the viral posts of Clinton being spotted hiking in the woods near her Chappaqua, N.Y., home shortly after the election, which was also the subject of a ‘Saturday Night Live’ skit.”
The crowd response to her was said to be warm in Scranton, the city where her late father grew up and around which she spent time as a child, according to the Associated Press.
Some observers are speculating that this speech signals Clinton’s re-emergence on the public stage since her defeat in the presidential election.
