Hillary Clinton tweeted her support for Leslie Jones, because they’re both queens and also #GirlPower
Between her website getting hacked and her being attacked nonstop by racist misogynists on Twitter, Leslie Jones has been having a rough summer. Luckily, many are doing all they can to make sure she knows she has our support (we LOVE you, Leslie!), and none other than the Democratic Nominee for president just showed her some love. Yep, we’re talking Hillary Clinton.
“@Lesdoggg, no one deserves this—least of all someone who brings us so much joy,” Clinton tweeted.
@Lesdoggg, no one deserves this—least of all someone who brings us so much joy. I'm with you. -H

“I’m with you. -H” she ended the tweet.
Her support comes alongside love from other beloved celebs.
I truly don't know why people are so hateful towards @Lesdoggg. Why? She's talented and wonderful. Why are people so pressed to be awful?

I was terrified when I did SNL. Leslie Jones went out of her way to be open, warm, friendly, funny all week. She is a GEM.

This @Lesdoggg attack is troubling. The rampant racism percolating in society right now is shameful and sad. She made a movie, that's it!

Do not give your eyeballs to this racist, hate-filled, misogynoir crime. I #StandWithLeslie ❤️

We feel *so* terribly about what’s happening to Leslie, and what’s she’s going through for ~daring~ to be a successful black woman. We just hope she’s getting the support she needs IRL, and that she’s taking care of herself.
