Clinton came through with a clapback for the ages.
The Republican Party's Twitter account got exactly what it asked for Wednesday, after a series of tweets attempting to troll prominent Democrats. It took aim at Sen. Bernie Sanders, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Clinton, much to the GOP's chagrin, actually responded.
Here's the tweet.
\u201c\u201cWe\u2019ve got to fix what\u2019s broken.\u201d Where's your plan, @HillaryClinton?\u201d— GOP (@GOP) 1499268255
Well, when you're asked a question, it's only polite to answer.
So she did.
\u201cRight here. Includes radical provisions like how not to kick 23 mil ppl off their coverage. Feel free to run w/it.\nhttps://t.co/jBMFBJpSP7 https://t.co/zZoA16Ym03\u201d— Hillary Clinton (@Hillary Clinton) 1499285348
Once again it seemed Clinton was prepared to actually answer questions and had genuine policy ideas.
That seemed pretty familiar to Calvin Stowell.
\u201c@HillaryClinton I will never forget how they critiqued you for being prepared, doing homework and research, and having an actual plan and policy.\u201d— Hillary Clinton (@Hillary Clinton) 1499285348
Um ...
\u201c@HillaryClinton @unhipcat I don't get why Republicans are still so obsessed with you. They claim you're done, you're irrelevant, but they keep bringing you up anyway.\u201d— Hillary Clinton (@Hillary Clinton) 1499285348
As if Clinton coming through with a response wasn't enough, people hopped on the GOP's Twitter to question exactly why it was asking anyway.
\u201c@BriTheWebGuy @GOP @HillaryClinton Even @GOP wants Hillary to be POTUS now.\u201d— GOP (@GOP) 1499268255
Some just wanted to say thank you.
\u201c@GOP @HillaryClinton Thank you for asking someone who knows what they're talking about when it comes to health care. Cause your guy knows jack \ud83d\udca9about it.\u201d— GOP (@GOP) 1499268255
Mr. Mustang came through with a friendly reminder.
Nolen Gertz just said what most of Twitter seemed to be thinking.
\u201cHow else did the @GOP think this exchange would go? https://t.co/wvGIpdNMqn\u201d— Nolen Gertz (@Nolen Gertz) 1499285528
