Wait, did Hillary Clinton just drop a RuPaul’s Drag Race reference?
Many people thought so after seeing the former Presidential hopeful – who got 3 million more votes than Donald Trump – reacting to news that Saudi Arabia will end its ban on women driving cars.
Responding to the news, the former US Secretary of State tweeted: “It’s about time. Ladies, start your engines!”
The tweet sent gay Twitter into a frenzy, as many wondered if it was a reference to RuPaul’s Drag Race.
Every episode of the drag reality contest features the immortal catchphrase, “Gentlemen, start your engines, and may the best woman win!”
It’s certainty not without the realms of possibility that Clinton has been spending her free time this year catching up on the show, after hinting at some TV binge sessions in her book ‘What Happened’.
And her daughter Chelsea Clinton is a rumoured Drag Race fan, having made a surprise appearance at Drag Race winner Jinkx Monsoon’s New York cabaret show.
That was evidence enough for some.
One Twitter user wrote: “Hillary Clinton quoting Rupaul is everything I need on a Wednesday night.”
