Ah, yes. After Hillary Clinton lost the U.S. Presidential Election to Donald Trump, she made her graceful and humble speech to the country, telling everyone to come together as one, regardless of who the winner was. This was of course the day after, as opposed to immediately, due to "being too upset from the loss". Yeah, because THAT sounds someone who's strong enough to run AN ENTIRE COUNTRY! Hahahahaha. No.

ANYWAYS…

During her speech, she made a comment about the "glass ceiling". Yes, she was referring to a female becoming President of the United States, but the argument is still a tired, old feminist claim about how women and minorities are SOMEHOW IN THIS DAY AND AGE prevented from raising to or above standards that were previously achieved by others. More information on it here:

Little did she know (or care to know, for that matter) that the following 11 women set milestones (not necessarily achievements, but milestones; big difference) in the United States Government during the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election:

Melania Trump, first person born in a communist nation to become U.S. First Lady. *Yes, I agree, not much of a milestone, but still one nonetheless.
Kellyanne Conway, first woman to win U.S. presidential campaign.
Ilhan Omar, first Somali-American legislator.
Catherine Cortez Masto, first Latino U.S. Senator.
Kamala Harris, first Indian Senator and California's first African-American Senator.
Tammy Duckworth, first Asian American woman to become Illinois Senator, first disabled woman to be elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, and the first member of Congress born in Thailand.
Carla Hayden, first female and African American Librarian of Congress.
Kate Brown, first openly bisexual person as governor of Oregon.
Stephanie Murphy, first Vietnamese-American woman to be voted role in congress.
Pramila Jayapal, first Indian-American woman to be elected to the US House of Representatives.
Lisa Blunt Rochester, first woman and the first black representative to serve Delaware in Congress.

BONUS: Hillary Clinton, first female in U.S. history to become a presidential nominee for the Democratic party: www.motherjones.com/politics/2…

Maybe if she pulled her head out of her ass and paid more attention to what's going on, she might not have looked so stupid and realized that the so-called "glass ceiling" has been shattered. ;)

Kamala is Vice President... Hilary had the election stolen from her by the electoral college ignoring the public vote oh and Russian fiddling. Melania Trump is married to the MAGA fascist so she hates other women!
