Pro-Hillary Clinton Hashtag Backfires After Bernie Sanders Says Clinton Not ‘Qualified’ To Be Presid

Shortly after Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders said Wednesday night Hillary Clinton, his opponent for the Democratic presidential nomination, was not “qualified” to be president, Clinton supporters fought back on Twitter. But like a number of pro-Clinton social media efforts this election cycle, the tweets soon backfired.

A Clinton supporter named Kim Frederick began tweeting with the hashtag #HillarySoQualified after seeing Sanders’ remarks at his rally in Philadelphia.

“She has been saying lately that she thinks that I am ‘not qualified’ to be president,” Sanders said. “Well, let me, let me just say in response to Secretary Clinton: I don’t believe that she is qualified, if she is, through her super PAC, taking tens of millions of dollars in special interest funds. I don’t think that you are qualified if you get $15 million from Wall Street through your super PAC.”

Addendum:
If you encounter someone claiming Hillary never suggested Bernie was unqualified, look here:
Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton on Wednesday questioned whether her rival in the Democratic presidential primary, Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt.), is qualified to be president.

"I think he hadn't done his homework and he'd been talking for more than a year about doing things that he obviously hadn't really studied or understood," Clinton said in an interview on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," just one day after losing the Wisconsin primary to Sanders, "and that does raise a lot of questions."

think you're dishonest, you're not qualified.

if you break promises to the President about transparency, you're unqualified.

if you push multiple disastrous foreign policies, you're unqualified.

if you're best campaign strategy is scaring voters, you're unqualified.

if selling weapons to child murders and hospital bombers is a "top priority," you're unqualified.

if you hire the owner of one of DC's biggest lobbying firms, that represents weapons manufacturers, big pharma, and Saudi Arabia, as your campaign chairman, you're unqualified.

Anyway she isn't stealing them she is just borrowing them. If she is elected she will give them back.
