Serial cultural appropriationist Hillary Clinton couldn’t have possibly been more stereotypical than choosing a leather pantsuit jacket to wear when speaking to an audience full of lesbian, gay, and transgender supporters. But that’s exactly what she did at a private campaign event hosted by her gal pals Rosie O’Donnell, Billie Jean King and Barney Frank.
“Don’t you love my jacket” Hillary said to a packed and wildly enthusiastic house. “I thought really hard about what I’d wear tonight being a fashion icon. This is my one and only piece of leather clothing.”
It’s unofficial but inside sources say Bill Clinton wasn’t sure if that was a true statement or not… but assured them he DEFINITELY owns more than one piece of leather clothing.
But back at New York City’s premier event location the Capitale in SoHo, Rosie and Hillary were less than veiled in their crowd-pleasing shots at Republican rival Donald Trump. And there were plenty of boos saved for Democratic rival Bernie Sanders, as well. (However, Barney and Hillary made sure there wasn’t a drop of booze left in the place.)
The New York Daily News reported that an insider heard Clinton say to the rowdy bunch:
“I have a million more votes than Donald, and oh, by the way, I have 2 1/2 million more than Bernie Sanders!”
The crowd loved that, along with Rosie’s shot at Trump’s “orange skin” and bad hair.
So, what do you do at the end of such a wild, exciting, leathery night with your armed posse? Pile them all in a handful of large, black gas-guzzling SUVs and break the law, of course!
It was reported that when Hillary left the Capitale, she ran a red light:
“Then she and her five-car caravan ran the red lights at Grand and Green (Streets)! She’s already enjoying the benefits of being president — they did stop to look both ways, then went right through.”
Well, like the Clintons always say: rules are for fools.
