Merkel acknowledged that she had supported Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris in their ultimately unsuccessful presidential bids against Trump and said their defeats had filled her with sadness.
I'm not sure that's an accurate depiction of Hilary's career - but that wasn't the point. The point was Merkel is the type of person who earnestly supported Harris and therefore the shade being thrown at the opposition is expected and not "headline" material.
If we take into account just how different of candidates and platforms Clinton vs. Harris is/was - then we probably have reduced Merkel's statements down to her supporting a woman US president. Also... not "headline" material (and, as an aside, is quite shallow for someone of Merkel's credentials).
The person who crippled her country's power grid has thoughts...
Ah ok, the lede was buried.
Sounds nice...but Clinton's and Harris' political resume's were almost non-existent compared to Merkel's own.

I'm not sure History will judge Merkel kindly, though...
