Hillary Clinton Is Expertly Trolling the Republican Debate Again—This Time in Spanish
The Democratic frontrunner took some well-aimed potshots on Twitter.
As candidates for the Republican presidential nomination were blasting each other during their second televised debate, Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton took some well-aimed potshots on Twitter, highlighting the GOP’s divisive immigration policies in the Hispanic community’s lingua franca.
During the debate, GOP frontrunner Donald Trump derided former Florida governor Jeb Bush for his use of Spanish during the campaign, underlining that the United States is a country “where we speak English.”
Meanwhile, Hillary had no qualms about spreading the news in America’s most-spoken language after English.

Los estadounidenses que trabajan duro cada día deberían de poder salir adelante. Nuestro desafío económico es aumentar sus salarios.

Clinton also expertly trolled the first GOP debate, by tweeting posters with quotes from the Republican candidates singing her praises, and hanging out with Kanye West and the Kardashians. Tonight, she also opted for an appearance on the Tonight Show.
