Hillary Clinton appeared to be closely following this year’s Oscar awards, paying particular attention to what the popular chef Jose Andres had to say about one of the nominees, the “beautiful and intimate” film “Roma”, which he claimed “gives a voice to the voiceless”.

During the landmark Oscars 2019, the year’s much celebrated best in cinema, former 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton took to Twitter to heap praise on celebrity chef Jose Andres. Incidentally, Andres accompanied actor Diego Luna to introduce the Academy Award nominee for best picture, the Spanish-language production “Roma”.

Netizens eagerly introduced corrections to the rhetoric, arguing that not only immigrants and women should be given credit for propelling the humanity forward, but “people working together”, including “legal immigrants”, as one Twitterian noted, underscoring the word “legal”. “Illegal immigrants bring us down”, another MAGA supporter weighed in.

“‘Legal immigrants and real women move humanity forward’. Better said,” another Twitterian weighed in.

Some couldn’t resist the temptation to bring up Hillary’s “sexist husband,” claiming that the Clintons are all hypocrites:
