Hillary Clinton's campaign posted a listicle on Tuesday that was originally titled "7 ways Hillary Clinton is just like your abuela." (It has since been updated to "7 things Hillary Clinton has in common with your abuela.") Needless to say, some people on Twitter were not thrilled by Clinton's attempt at connecting with Hispanic voters, and started the hashtag #NotMyAbuela in response.
Hillary is #NotMyAbuela

Maybe try discussing our issues, not pandering and patronizing, in order to get our votes. #NotMyAbuela @HillaryClinton
