[QUOTE="DA 20, post: 2852568, member: 7680"] Yesterday, when Ashley Williams interrupted Hillary Clinton at a fundraiser event in South Carolina, she intended to make a point. Williams, a Black Lives Matter activist, wanted Clinton to apologize to black people for supporting mass incarceration in the 1990s and once calling gang members, "super predators." What Williams didn't intend to do was start the number-one trending hashtag on Twitter throughout most of the day Thursday, but that's exactly what she did. #WhichHillary, which was written at the bottom of Williams' banner, became the single most viral hashtag on Twitter, accumulating over 250K mentions by 7:00pm EST. The hashtag became a global soapbox for both BLM activists and Bernie Sanders supporters. Hundreds of thousands of Tweets emerged, calling into question Clinton's record, not just on race, but also on Wall Street, Iraq, gay marriage, health care, even the negative campaign that she ran against now President Obama in 2008.
