Clinton’s message to Women’s March attendees: ‘Keep up the momentum’

Hillary Clinton is urging her supporters and those who oppose the Trump administration to maintain their level of energy following last weekend’s Women’s March.

“On Saturday, we watched women and men across this country and the globe stand up, speak out, and peacefully march for those values with one voice,” Clinton said on Wednesday. “It was awe-inspiring. We have to keep up the momentum.”

Clinton attended Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20, but did not show up at the Saturday protest — though former Secretary of State John Kerry did. Clinton said she chose to attend the Friday festivities with her husband, former President Bill Clinton, “to honor democracy and its enduring values.” The former first lady and U.S. senator also attended the inauguration of former President Obama in 2009 after losing the Democratic nomination to him a year earlier.

Still, Clinton says she will “never stop believing in this country and our collective future.”

“We are still, and will always be, stronger together,” Clinton finished, stating her campaign motto.
