Hillary Blames Her Lack of Trustworthiness on Republicans

The 2016 candidate was responding to a recent poll that found more than 60 percent of Americans don’t consider her honest

KEILAR: “Trusting someone to fight for them and trusting someone, these are -- these are two different things. Do you see any role that you've had in the sentiment that we've seen, where people are questioning whether you're trustworthy?”
CLINTON: “I can only tell you, Brianna, that this has been a theme that has been used against me and my husband for many, many years. And at the end of the day, I think voters sort it all out. I have great confidence. I trust the American voter. So I trust the American voter 100 percent, because I think, you know, the American voter will weigh these kinds of accusations. I mean, you know, people write books filled with unsubstantiated attacks against us. And even admit they have no evidence. But of course, it's your job to cover it. So of course, that's going to raise questions in people's minds. But during the course of this campaign, just as in my two prior campaigns and in my other years of service, I have a lot of confidence that the American people can sort it all out.”
KEILAR: “Would you vote for someone that you don't trust?”
CLINTON: “Well, they -- people should and do trust me. And I have every confidence that that will be the outcome of this election. I cannot decide what the attacks on me will be, no matter how unfounded. And I'm well aware of the fact that it's your job to raise those, and we'll do our best to respond to them. But I think what people talk to me about -- and that's all I can go on -- is the literally thousands of people that I've seen in the course of this campaign. They want to know what I'm going to do for the economy, what I'm going to do for education, what I'm going to do for health care. And they trust me to have a plan and to be committed to carrying out that plan, and they should, because I will.”
