Hillary Rodham Clinton is the FIRST woman to win a major party’s nomination for President of the United States._ by [Ashley Hoffman](https://time.com/author/ashley-hoffman/) ## Ashley Hoffman Nov 2, 2017 3:31 PM UTC  by [Ashley Hoffman](https://time.com/author/ashley-hoffman/) ## Ashley Hoffman Nov 2, 2017 3:31 PM UTC [Hillary Clinton](http://time.com/4937204/hillary-clinton-ivanka-trump-held-accountable/) described the [Russian campaign](http://time.com/5006056/russia-election-2016-memes/) to manipulate voters in the 2016 presidential election as cyberwarfare. In an interview on _The Daily Show_ with Trevor Noah on Wednesday, the former Secretary of State said [Russia’s attempt to influence the election](http://time.com/4783932/inside-russia-social-media-war-america/) is “a form of war” — and she warned that it’s not over. “Russian trolls and bots and agents are still fomenting discord and conflict within our country. That is classic propaganda, and the Russians are really good at it,” she said. “And I think that’s, in large measure, because the President is so ambivalent. I mean, he has to know — we’ll find out what he knew and how involved he was — but he had to know that people were making outreach to Russians, to the highest levels of the Kremlin, in order to help him, to hurt me, but more importantly to sow this divisiveness.” Clinton also addressed last month’s revelation that her 2016 presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee helped fund the [infamous dossier](http://time.com/4996741/what-is-the-trump-dossier/) containing salacious and unsubstantiated allegations about President Trump’s ties to Russia. When Noah asked her if there was a difference between that and Trump’s possible connections to Russia, Clinton said, “Of course.” “I think most serious people understand that,” she added, noting the dossier’s release came after the election. As for why she won’t “go away” now like some of her critics want, Clinton vowed to continue [using her platform](http://time.com/4942063/hillary-clinton-electoral-college/) to represent unsung people she feels need to be heard. “I’m not going anywhere. I walked in the woods, that was enough. I’m done with that, I’m back,” she said.

[ MUSIC ] It's essential that in life you see yourself Reflected in other people's stories. I was always looking for anybody that kinda looked like me. [ MUSIC ] The first time I walked out to pitch, different guys were all just like telling jokes to their teammates and the parents were laughing. When they saw me face the first batter, didn't really hear anything from that side of the field. [ MUSIC ] I've dealt with a lot of people who second guess me, who undermined me because of my age. People would associate what my hard work meant. They would diminish it. A lot of what pioneers do, they do not benefit from it. [ MUSIC ] There's plenty of room in the world for mediocre men. There is no room for mediocre women. [ MUSIC ] The glass ceiling, that vocabulary is violent. I wouldn't have gone to that class yelling and screaming, I'm gonna make you break! She literally put me in a catapult and threw me at it. [ MUSIC ] Here we are Early in the 21st century. [ MUSIC ] The time has just come to finally break through. People are on their feet. [ APPLAUSE ] The glass ceiling is nothing compared to the determination of women. Danica Patrick [ MUSIC ] Not one thing ever does it. [ UNKNOWN ] It's a series of consistent things The people say, ha, it's time for change.
