Hillary Clinton Makes A Bathroom Joke During Democratic Debate

Hillary Clinton made a bathroom joke after a commercial break during the Democratic primary debate Tuesday night.

Following the short break, CNN debate moderator Anderson Cooper said with a note of relief, “All the candidates all are back. Uh, which I’m very happy to see.”

The audience shared a laugh as Anderson continued, “It’s a long story. Let’s continue shall we?” adding, “Secretary Clinton, welcome back.”

Clinton, aware she was getting called out for not returning to the podium as quickly as her male competitors, delivered an off-the-cuff bathroom joke. “Well thank you, it does take me a little longer,” the Democratic frontrunner quipped. “That’s all I can say.”

Of course, Twitter reacted accordingly:

There was probably a line for the women’s bathroom. I feel for us, @HillaryClinton. We’ve all been there.

HAHAHAH did @HillaryClinton just talk about how bathroom breaks are different for women subtly? YES.

Before we discuss wealth and civil inequality, can we take a moment to discuss bathroom break time equality? #DemDebate @HillaryClinton
