Last year, on Mary J. Blige's online talk show, she sat down for a one-on-one with 2016 Democratic presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton.

In an new interview with Variety, Blige defended her decision to serenade Clinton with a rendition of "American Skin" by Bruce Springsteen. When the trailer for the episode dropped, many bloggers criticized her for doing so.

"That was going to be my first female president, so I’m going hard for people to hear her voice and see her other than a politician,” she said. “They took one piece of the song and played it everywhere. And then they felt stupid afterwards, [because] the interview was great. That’s the problem — people take a piece of something that they don’t understand and pick at it and tease it.”

Blige expressed just how disappointed she is in the Trump administration, and in the way things turned out in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

“We used to be a country that people looked at and respected,” she said. “Now we’re a country that people look at and judge. The integrity of the United States is lost. Is this a reflection of who we are? Look at who our leader is.”

She also suggested that Clinton run for president in 2020.

“I mean, if I was her, I would because she’s strong,” said Blige. “She’s done it. You see everything she had to take that wasn’t fair.”

Clinton has yet to announce a bid. If she does run, however, it seems she'll have Blige's vote.
