Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took to Twitter Friday to celebrate the House Republicans’ pulling of a vote on their bill to repeal and replace Obamacare, calling it a “victory for all Americans.”

Clinton — who has kept a fairly low profile since her defeat last November, save for a few public speaking engagements and some walks in the woods — released a statement on President Donald Trump’s favorite social media platform, hailing the move to pull the bill as a victory for affordable health care and urging Democrats to fight on.

Following her statement, she shared the stories of those who have been helped by the Affordable Care Act.

  1. Not to diminish the qualities of the yet unknown future first female President, but I really regret that the country missed the opportunity to elect so qualified a person as its first woman President.

  2. Many say there are parts of the ACA that need to be tweaked. The Dems should now make a public statement on their support for those tweeks leaving the R’s once again in the uncomfortable position of not caring about those who have in the past voted for them.

  3. Hillary gives Trump the finger - right up his ass!
    That’s gonna burn. Better get some Preparation H, Donny.
