In a gross display of political opportunism, Hillary Clinton, the former Secretary of State and Democratic presidential nominee, shamelessly celebrated the indictment of former President Donald Trump by capitalizing on her infamous “But Her Emails” controversy.
Clinton took to Twitter to promote the sale of limited-edition merchandise, including hats, emblazoned with the phrase that became a rallying cry for Trump’s supporters during the 2016 election.
The tweet sparked a wave of criticism and accusations of insensitivity. Many accused Clinton of trying to profit off a deeply polarizing and divisive moment in American politics.
Bringing this back in light of recent news:

The “But Her Emails” phrase was popularized during the 2016 election campaign when Clinton’s use of a private email server while serving as Secretary of State came under intense scrutiny.

Seems unfair seeing as how she did commit crimes. Thanks for making our point.

Keep bragging on how you’re getting away with everything for now…but we both know you couldn’t walk through a crowd without security for a reason.
Enjoy your life in hiding, you soul sucking unholy harpy. ✌🏻
