Here at Twitchy we often highlight tweets that have aged horribly over time, and Hillary Clinton has been the focus of many of those posts. Here are a dozen @HillaryClinton’s tweets, all from before the election, that were doomed to be ravaged by time, and, coming up on the one-year anniversary of the election, they just keep getting worse. This list of 12 isn’t a comprehensive (after all, there are server limitations) but makes for a good start. Here we go…
Number 12:
On more than just one occasion Clinton enjoyed using this angle to slam Trump. Here’s just one such instance from September of last year:
How pay-to-play works:
1. Trump faces possible investigation
2. Trump gives $$ to AG
3. Investigation never happens pic.twitter.com/jbavsfconU— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) September 13, 2016
A “pay to play” lecture and Justice Department finger-pointing from Hillary Clinton, whose husband met with the AG on an airport tarmac while she was under investigation — it doesn’t get more ironic than that and has gotten even more mock-worthy since.
***
Number 11:
As Harry Reid discovered after playing this same game with Mitt Romney, don’t make the claim if it could end up being easily disproven:
"About half of the people he wants to deport—they’ve paid more taxes than Donald Trump has paid.” —Hillary in Arizona
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) November 3, 2016
A backfired “bombshell” report from Rachel Maddow about Trump’s taxes quickly proved that claim to be ridiculous.
***
Number 10:
Clinton got an assist from then-President Obama for this tweet proving they weren’t aware what “everything” encompassed:
In a new interview, @POTUS talks about why Hillary has everything it takes to be president.https://t.co/MRwg5h0LMq
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) July 5, 2016
Apparently not everything it takes, which would include the ability to win select swing states.
***
Number 9:
How Hillary (and staff) could stuff like this with straight faces is anybody’s guess:
Instead of pitting people against each other, we need to enlist everyone in building our country together.
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) June 22, 2016
Those in the “basket of deplorables” Clinton slammed at the time were laughing all the way to the polls to vote against her. And now that tweet has aged even worse since Hillary started blaming everybody not named “Clinton” for her election loss.
***
Number 8:
Hillary Clinton’s big supporter Harvey Weinstein was perhaps among those applauding her for saying this back in 2015:
Every survivor of sexual assault deserves to be heard, believed, and supported. https://t.co/mkD69RHeBL
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) November 23, 2015
Female accusers of Bill Clinton have since shredded that statement coming from his wife, leaving it tattered and torn on the floor along with all the other Hillary tweets that have withered over time.
***
Numbers 7 & 6:
These are actually two tweets back-to-back in “shot/chaser” style that were published within a couple hours of each other. To paraphrase Bill Clinton, “it depends on what your definition of children’s ‘health’ is.” Compare & contrast:
“The children’s health program wouldn’t be in existence today if we didn’t have Hillary pushing for it." https://t.co/fCZfdKLRkK
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) June 27, 2016
SCOTUS's decision is a victory for women in Texas and across America. Safe abortion should be a right—not just on paper, but in reality. -H
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) June 27, 2016
Wow. “For the children,” but with exceptions. Those are not looking better over time.
***
Number 5:
That time Hillary had to let everybody know that she hasn’t been paying attention to the Clintons for many, many years:
Trump prioritizing his own gain over Americans' well-being isn't new, but it is telling: The only person he'll fight for is himself.
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) May 24, 2016
Just wow.
***
Number 4:
Hillary Clinton’s advice for Trump last year was something else coming from BleachBit’s 2016 Customer of the Year:
Delete your account. https://t.co/Oa92sncRQY
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) June 9, 2016
Delete, like, with a cloth?
***
Number 3:
Self-awareness, WHO NEEDS IT!?
With just 8 days left, this can’t wait. RT if you agree Trump should immediately disclose all of his ties and connections to Russia. pic.twitter.com/IqmC2wIDq4
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) November 1, 2016
***
Number 2:
She REALLY didn’t expect to lose, and this one would come back to bite Hillary repeatedly in the following months:
Donald Trump refused to say that he’d respect the results of this election.
That’s a direct threat to our democracy.
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) October 24, 2016
That one gets funnier every day.
***
And the number 1 Hillary Clinton pre-election tweet that aged horribly:
Happy birthday to this future president. pic.twitter.com/JT3HiBjYdj
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) October 26, 2016
D’OH! Somebody was a little over-confident!
