Rand Paul Uses Pinterest to Mock Clinton
Sen. Rand Paul (R., Ky) is choosing Valentines Day to take a jab at Hillary Clinton.
On Saturday morning, the senators Facebook page posted a message saying that if Hillary Clinton set up a Pinterest page, we can only imagine it might look like this. It included links to a mock profile on the photo-sharing site set up under Mrs. Clintons name.
The profile includes several references to moments that Mrs. Clinton likely would not highlight in a presidential campaign. One section called shoulda, woulda, coulda showcases images from her unsuccessful 2008 White House bid.
The profile also takes a jab at suspended NBC News anchor Brian Williams, with a picture of him interviewing Mrs. Clinton. The accompanying text reads: You tell me your war story, Ill tell you mine.
Mrs. Clinton in 2008 had acknowledged making a mistake when she said she had come under hostile fire while in Bosnia. Mr. Williams is currently suspended for telling a false war story related tohis time in Iraq.
This is not the first time the senator has used social media to take a jab at Mrs. Clinton or other likely White House candidates. In January, Mr. Pauls political action committee, Rand PAC, posted an audio link of a fake phone call between Jeb Bush and Mrs. Clinton, in which actors portraying them argued over whos turn it was to move into the White House. Mr. Pauls PAC is also asking his followers to sign a petition to say no to Mrs. Clinton running for president.
Pinterest, a platform often used to share recipes and fitness tips, was used in the 2012 presidential campaign by Ann Romney to connect with women. Mrs. Romneys pins were mostly recipes, patriotic photos and books.
