WaExaminer: A number of African-American social media users pushed back against Hillary Clinton’s attempt to reach black voters with a Kwanzaa Twitter avatar.

“Wishing everyone the best this Kwanzaa. To all celebrating — Bill and I send you our warmest wishes. -H,” Clinton tweeted on Saturday night, after changing her Twitter logo to a red, black and green image of her campaign’s “H” logo, which was made to look like a kinara, the candle holder used in Kwanzaa celebrations.

  1. Future Hitlery Quotes:

    Columbus Day 2016: “Ehhhh, whatsa all ‘a you Italianos ‘a doing for da Christof’ Colombus ‘a Day? I remember that mi Italian gran mama used to make ‘a me a nice ‘a big ‘a plate of’a da spaghetti an’a da meat ‘a balls!”

    Arbor Day 2016: “I can recall with great fondness meeting with Johnny Appleseed as a child and going with him and my mother to plant apple trees along the parkway near the village where I was born. Sadly, Republican developers cut them down to make way for huge homes for the filthy rich people who coveted our little village.”

    St. Patrick’s Day 2016: “When Bill and I were in Ireland, a little old man came up to me and said that I had a twinkle in my eye that only the Irish have. I reminded him that my grandmother was Irish, and she made corned beef and cabbage every Wednesday. One of my earliest memories is sitting in my high chair in her large, steamy kitchen in that big old thatched house where she and my grandfather lived, just up from the Harp and Bowl Pub in the village where I was born.”

    Cinco de May 2016: “I’ll be you all didn’t know that for my fourth birthday I asked for a pinata! Yes I did. I demanded a pinata, and my mother called my Mexican grandmother and asked her where she could find one. Well, in those days, no tenemos las pinatas is las tiendas. Pero, mi abuela… stayed up all night and made me a pinata with her own two hands. It was a caricature of a fat-cat Republican – you know fat and round – because Mi Abuela had been a pioneer in the farm worker union movement and fought alongside Caesar Chavez.”

    I may not be right on the money, but I’m damned close!!!

  2. Happy Kwanzaa to all you black fuckin parasites!
    Bill says to vote for me, so I know that’s what y’all gonna do!

    And don’t forget!
    Vote Early – Vote Often!

  3. Why Hillary, named after Sir Edmund Hillary before anyone ever heard of him, has been celebrating Kwanzaa in honor of the black folks pretty much since she was born, in 1947 — even before professor Dr. Maulana Karenga, chairman of Black Studies at California State University, Long Beach, created Kwanzaa in 1966.
