A Hillary Clinton supporter felt the burn of Twitter after trying to to tout the Democratic presidential front-runner's White House qualifications on Wednesday night.
Kim Frederick got riled up at Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) after he told supporters in Philadelphia on Wednesday that he doesn't think his rival is qualified for the job. So she decided to flaunt the former Secretary of State's achievements using the hashtag #HillarySoQualified.
“I was livid,” Frederick told The Washington Post. “Just beyond fiercely angry about this, and I could barely control myself. Even talking about it now gets me worked up.”
Here are a few of Frederick's tweets:
#HillarySoQualified she got 8M children insured while you renamed two post office boxes. #ImWithHer

#HillarySoQualified she could send him cliff notes for his interviews so he doesn't look so unprepared and utterly out of his league

#HillarySoQualified she has detailed plans for autism while Bernie sits in a caucus and probably complains all day https://t.co/tck28hV2HR

#HillarySoQualified her supporters can make a hashtag trend for free while he pays $6M to start a trending hashtag among babes

Others then chimed in:

#HillarySoQualified that men have to deride her ambition and minimize her experience to feel better about themselves.

Until people began using the hashtag to air out their grievances with Clinton:
#HillarySoQualified she knows exactly which foreign dictators to hit up for slush fund contributions pic.twitter.com/t5i4gs4dia

#HillarySoQualified she thinks we forgot that this pic came out of her camp in 2008, intimating Obama was a Muslim. pic.twitter.com/HKFG9D331s
— Tiffany Towns (@MsTiffanyTowns) April 7, 2016
Many pro-Sanders Twitter accounts got involved, too:
#HillarySoQualified she's 'tough' on guns but she's lax w/the F15s sold to Saudi Arabia & that are now bombing Yemen pic.twitter.com/iJDa70YCDA
— Labor for Bernie (@LaborForBernie) April 7, 2016
The trending hashtag did, however, rake in 114,000 tweets by Thursday morning.
#HillarySoQualified that her supporters make hashtags that end up not really helping her.
