Men Tell Hillary To 'Smile' After Her Primary Wins, Because Of Course

Male commentators tell Hillary to “smile” and say she looks “mad”

Hillary Clinton had some amazing victories in the primaries last night. She swept four states and led in a fifth. But but a bunch of male pundits were too busy telling her she needed to smile more to actually congratulate her.

Bernie Sanders has not stopped yelling this entire election season, usually accompanied by maniacal hand-waving, but no one has ever accused him of being “angry.” He’s eccentric. He’s fed-up.

Smile Hillary!
