Hillary Clinton has hit peak “fuck it,” and it’s perhaps the most beautiful thing we’ve seen lately.
“Hey everyone, I just wanted to say thanks,” Clinton said in a video that was posted by Huffington Post commentator Alex Mohajer on Twitter. “Thanks for your feminism, for your activism, and all I can hope is you keep up the really important, good work.”
Someone off-camera can be heard saying “activist bitches supporting bitches.”
Normally, Clinton would smile and move on. But really, what is anyone going to do? Conservatives have already accused her of running a child sex slave operation our of the basement of a pizza shop that doesn’t have a basement, and “Hillary Clinton said the ‘b-word’” is definitely not going to top that.
“And let me just say, this is directed to the activist bitches supporting bitches. So let’s go,” Clinton said.

The video was viewed almost a quarter-million times in six hours and was met by the usual onslaught of “lock her up” memes pushed by Russian Twitter-bots.
The Women’s March in 2017 was the largest single-day protest in U.S. history. The 2018 encore pulled some impressive numbers.
It’s absolutely time for everyone to support “activist bitches supporting bitches.” It’s not like we can count on the “make me a sandwich party” to do it.
