Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton undeniably won the Internet on Sunday night with one brilliant Super Bowl tweet.
During the game, in which the Seattle Seahawks handily routed the Denver Broncos, Clinton took the opportunity to make a joke about it being nice to see other people getting sacked and blitzed on Fox.
It’s so much more fun to watch FOX when it’s someone else being blitzed & sacked! #SuperBowl

Twitter users went wild, calling her tweet “epic” and “excellent.” The tweet received more than 40,000 tweets in about an hour.
“@MarcACaputo: By Twitter standards, @HillaryClinton is scoring more than Peyton Manning” LMAO!!! #shade

@HillaryClinton Rest assured, more blitzing and sacking coming your way Madame Secretary. I recommend wearing a helmet and pads.

Though she didn’t clarify the tweet, it is likely that Clinton was referencing the media aftermath of the Benghazi attack during her tenure as Secretary of State.
