Fight for 15 cups a day! Interns who work for Hillary Clinton get paid in ... coffee?

Hillary Clinton is on a populist tear tonight going after colleges who dare to charge students for their educations. First up, this tweet on state colleges:

Students should never have to take out a loan to pay for tuition at their state’s public university.

— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) August 16, 2015

So will this be a new federal mandate that controls how each state handles tuition? More information please.

But her second tweet makes even less sense:

If schools load students up with debt for programs that don’t lead to good-paying jobs, they should be accountable, too.

Accountable to whom? And we’d love to hear more on how Hillary would implement this one.

But here’s where her Twitter feed gets really funny. Before the incoherent tweets on student loans, her account posted this. No money for the interns, but there’s free coffee!

Question for Hillary: If candidates load up students with debt for internships that don’t pay minimum wage, should they be held accountable, too?

And Tweeters are having some fun mocking Hillary over her free coffee/no pay plan:

Not paying interns hurts the campaign by ensuring that the lowest level staff are all relatively well-off https://t.co/91YqBS1hMh
