Samantha Power speaks out to Irish news outlet RTE:
Of course I regret them, I can't even believe they came out of my mouth. The campaign was getting very tense, and I -- in every public appearance I've ever made talking about Senator Clinton, I have sung her praises as the leader she's been, the intellect. She's also incredibly warm, funny. I've spent time with her. I think that I just had a very weak moment in seeing some of the tactics, it seems, that were getting employed. I was just afraid really that the campaign would not stay at the level it had been on and I let out in a wave of frustration.
...
It's not good and it's 100 percent thoroughly my fault. I apologize. I regret it. I wish I could go back in time, mainly because (the comments) don't reflect my feelings about Senator Clinton... I think just, I'm a bit of a political rookie. I'm a policy-person, a scholar and new to campaigning. Perhaps maybe the heat of it got to me a little bit and I over-reacted to something that I had heard. But, again, it's no excuse.
