Hillary Clinton Snapchats an empowering video, but the internet only cares about her new haircut
Hillary's back, but so are the old stigmas.
Hillary Clinton recorded what was meant to be an inspirational Snapchat Discover story on Wednesday -- clad in red for International Women's Day, she gave a call to arms for the future. Unfortunately, the internet didn't spend too much time listening to her words.
"There's a lot to fight for," Clinton says. "Planned Parenthood, education, healthcare, jobs. Every issue is a women's issue. So stand up, resist, run for office, be a champion."
A wonderful, short speech to be sure. Unfortunately, it was her looks, yet again, that commanded the most attention.

For the millionth time, Clinton can't escape opinions about her appearance overshadowing her words and deeds.
And, of course, the internet was quick to weigh in with its many, many, many different opinions.
Fortunately, at least some were supportive.

Maybe one day her words will be more of a conversation piece than her hair. But we won't hold our breath.
