Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's emails show Democrat megadonor George Soros regretted supporting Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton in the 2008 primaries, Politico reports.
In the batch of emails released by the State Department on Thursday, Neera Tanden, president of the liberal Center for American Progress, writes to Clinton in May 2012 to tell her of a conversation she had with Soros at a dinner for Democracy Alliance, a club for major Democratic donors.
"I told him I worked for you in the primaries and he said he's been impressed that he can always call/meet with you on an issue of policy and said he hasn't met with the President ever (though I thought he had)," Tanden wrote. "He then said he regretted his decision in the primary — he likes to admit mistakes when he makes them and that was one of them. He then extolled his work with you from your time as First Lady on."
Soros told The New Yorker in 2012 he felt snubbed by Obama after he had tried to set up a meeting with the president at the White House. The two later met at "a low-profile, private meeting in New York, when the President was in town for other business," The New Yorker wrote.
The magazine quoted a Soros insider saying: "They pissed on him... He didn’t want a ******* thing! He didn’t want a state dinner, or a White House party—he just wanted to be taken seriously.”
The Soros anecdote was one revelation in about 5,500 pages of Clinton emails released Thursday.
