Rut-roh! Could Ariana Grande's America-hatin' spell trouble for Hillary?

As Twitchy reported, pop star Ariana Grande found herself in a bit of a sticky situation after video footage surfaced of her licking doughnuts and proclaiming, “I hate America.” She’s since issued an apology — a super-articulate one, heh — but there may be another, more problematic layer to this cake.

Grande, you see, is sweet on Hillary:

Whoa. Whoa.

I suppose if you hate Americans Hillary would be the candidate you'd want to support. http://t.co/hxsEmr44aB https://t.co/IifhMdPYyT

So, when’s Hillary going to answer for this?
