发帖数: 61690 | 1 Hillary Clinton gave her 2016 campaign rival, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.),
the cold shoulder at a posh lunch held in the U.S. Capitol’s ornate
Statuary Hall Friday to celebrate Donald Trump’s inauguration as the
country’s 45th president.
Clinton spent quality time chatting with Democratic Sens. Tammy Baldwin (Wis
.) and Debbie Stabenow (Mich.), as well as with House Democratic Whip Steny
Hoyer (Md.).
But when Sanders waded through the crowd to say hello to Clinton, she took
awhile to acknowledge him and did not embrace him as she did other
Democratic lawmakers.
Sanders hovered around Clinton for a while until she noticed him and their
interaction was brief, out of earshot of reporters standing at a balcony
covering the event.
Clinton spent more time chatting with some Republicans, such as Ohio Sen.
Rob Portman, with whom she was locked in conversation for a few moments.
Democratic and Republican lawmakers alike lined up to say hello to Clinton,
who appeared to be one of the biggest celebrities in the room. Rep. Patrick
McHenry (R-N.C.) snapped her picture.
Sanders received far less attention from colleagues, although one
unidentified person asked him for his autograph.
Sanders gave Clinton a tougher-than-expected challenge in last year's
Democratic presidential primaries, and some Clinton backers feel he cost her
the election by dividing the party's base.
Hacked internal emails from the Democratic National Committee revealed that
party officials were secretly favoring Clinton during the primaries,
something that angered many Sanders supporters and may have contributed to
depressed Democratic voter turnout in November.
Sanders and his wife drifted back to their assigned table with Texas Rep.
