Like pretty much everyone else on the planet, Hillary Clinton is a Kate McKinnon fan.

During Sunday night's Emmys, Kate McKinnon accepted the award for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy and gave a shout out to Clinton, who McKinnon portrays on Saturday Night Live. And while thousands of people congratulated McKinnon on Twitter, her biggest congrats came from Clinton herself.

"Congrats on your Emmy, Kate! Big fan of yours too," the Hillary campaign wrote on Twitter.
