Hillary Supporters Got Yesterday's Hashtag Hijacked and It Is Hilarious

Hillary Clinton supporters started the hashtag #HillarySoQualified in support of their candidate on Wednesday night. In a hilarious turn of events, Bernie Sanders supporters hijacked the hashtag and made it a top national trend.

The initial slew of tweets from Clinton voters were echoing support of the former Secretary of State’s attack on Sanders, questioning his qualifications to be president. Sanders hit back, saying Clinton was not qualified to be president based on her support for the Iraq War as Senator, for pushing free trade agreements like the Panama trade pact as Secretary of State, and for her reliance on campaign contributions from the wealthy elite.

Clinton supporters started the hashtag shortly after Sanders’ retort began spreading on social media, and boasted of Clinton’s endorsements from establishment political figures and media, and of her foreign policy experience.

Gosztola was proven correct. Close to midnight Eastern Time, the hashtag was suddenly flooded with tweets from Sanders supporters pointing out the darker parts of Hillary Clinton’s record as First Lady, U.S. Senator, and Secretary of State.

Twitter users mentioned Clinton’s role in dismantling the social safety net for working families in Arkansas, signing off on hundreds of billions worth of weapons sales to cruel dictatorships, her candid support of the Iraq War, her past remarks referring to black youth as “super-predators,” and her top-dollar speeches to Goldman Sachs:
