Hillary Clinton wants you to know that she fully supports feminism. And sometimes her lent-support comes with particularly colorful language.
“I just wanted to say thanks,” Clinton begins in a video that hit the web on Friday. “Thanks for your feminism, for your activism, and all I can hope is you keep up the really important good work.”
A person off-camera then asks her to say the next line.
“And let me just say: This is directed towards the activist bitches supporting bitches,” Clinton continues. “So let’s go.”
Watch the video above.
Twitter is divided on this one. First, those in favor:

H/t @actionillinois1, but we’re just happy to hear others as excited as we are about an inspiring message from HRC. No credit needed. Hillary’s a huge inspiration to so many of us.

And those against:
Hillary says "activist bitches supporting bitches" no one bats an eye. Trump says "shithole countries" and everyone loses their minds. https://t.co/Dxqzx6wp8H

The odd video is not the only thing Clinton is currently in the news for. Also on Friday, the New York Times reported that in 2008 Clinton protected a senior adviser accused of sexual misconduct. Clinton said on Twitter she was “dismayed when it occurred,” and “heartened” that the accuser came forward. However, the former presidential candidate did not address the specific report that she reassigned the accuser and continued to employ the advisor.
“A story appeared today about something that happened in 2008,” she said in a Friday night tweet. “I was dismayed when it occurred, but was heartened the young woman came forward, was heard, and had her concerns taken seriously and addressed.”
Clinton continued at the time, “I called her today to tell her how proud I am of her and to make sure she knows what all women should: we deserve to be heard.”
