Ain't nothing gonna break my stride
Nobody gonna slow me down
Oh no
I got to keep on moving
Ain't nothing gonna break-a my stride
I'm running
And I won't touch ground
Oh no
I got to keep on moving

She is wise to laugh at them and blow it off. It's such a joke!

That it was in fact from college, reenacting a scene from an iconic movie, recorded as an official video for the Boston university she was attending, as part of promotional material for potential incoming freshman ... makes it all the more funny and them look stupider.

The only way this clapback video could have been better is if she re-reenacted said scene but with staffers or even other freshman congresscritters in place of fellow students.

If we find it on a jukebox or lineup anywhere (including red spots locally) we play it and dance.

Of course, I'm 64, he's 67 - but we've been dancing together since I was 15 and he was 18.

We have our own local version of Burning Man at the Howling Dog Saloon.

She is going to kick some butt!
