Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton joked Saturday at a charity event about the multiple times it took her to gain entry to New York’s subway system, reported ABC News.

Clinton rode the subway last week, but video showed that she struggled to swipe her MetroCard and enter the subway system — repeatedly swiping her card as a man attempted to carry on a conversation.

But she made light of the situation at a charity event alongside New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.

““Do me a favor, will you just fix these MetroCard slots? It took me like five swipes,” Clinton told de Blasio, according to ABC. “The little terminal thing kept saying please swipe again. I mean you’ve got to fix that. You don’t have to worry about horses anymore. Fix the turnstile and the MetroCard.”
