“Thank you, Hillary.” Miley Cyrus tears up as she channels raw emotion of 65 million Americans
Shareblue ^ | October 5, 2017 | Jess McIntosh, Executive editor

Miley Cyrus and the women writers of "The Tonight Show" penned real-time thank you letters to guest Hillary Clinton, and for six minutes, we all got to live vicariously.

If you’re a woman who loves Hillary Clinton, it’s pretty easy to feel erased.

We are treated to endless deep dives of the Trump voter: who are they, who wronged them, what is the specific nature of the anxiety that led them to vote for an ignorant embarrassment of a bigot.

If you supported Bernie Sanders in the primary, it was easy to find breathless articles extolling your existence: your youth, your optimism, the issues that drove you to be so passionate.

For Hillary Clinton voters, there was none of that. We were told over and over that we did not actually love our candidate. We chose her out of dispassionate pragmatism, or some commitment to incremental politics. We would have preferred someone less flawed, obviously, but she was what we had. We were “voting with our vaginas.”

But stubbornly, we continued to love her. We built secret communities on and off line where we could quietly praise her without interference.

On Election Day, we delivered the biggest gender gap in history for her.

After she lost, we got louder.

We take up more space.

Moments like the one that happened on “The Tonight Show” with Jimmy Fallon (not exactly a venue I turn to for a sympathetic political ear) are frequent now. The women writers each came on, one at a time — and I had no idea Fallon had so many women writers! Good for him! — and penned Hillary a thank-you note, while she sat across from them.

The segment ended with Miley Cyrus coming out and beginning to cry before she hit the Hillary in “Dear Hillary.”

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

CYRUS: Thank you, Hillary, for being a constant beacon of strength, hope, and determination for me and millions of other young women. You’ve been a role model and an inspiration, and a voice of reason in uncertain times. I could go on and on, but I’d like to get right to the point. Can I give you a hug?

Hillary’s answer? “Yes. Yes, yes, yes, yes.”

I live for these moments. Where women — and little girls, who haven’t been told that they aren’t supposed to love Hillary Clinton — get to meet her. Their joy is impossible to deny.

I tear up every time I see myself reflected in these women politely losing it just by being around her. It’s a wonderful catharsis to watch one of our own deliver the message right to her. “Thank you, Hillary” — the thing we all want to say.

Hillary is acting and looking like a Lunatic twin of Pelosi.

Does Clinton even know that Bump Stock was a product of the Obama administration while she was Sec. of State?

People are crazy. I would ask her, “What, specifically, would you have gained if Hillary Clinton had been elected? How, specifically, have you been harmed by her defeat?” But it wouldn’t do any good.

Russians who were put in the gulags by Stalin cried when he died too.

Go figure.

You know, if a celeb appears on a popular tv show espousing a certain view, then that automatically means every viewer agrees with it. At least that is what the left thinks.

Thanks for posting that. I see she has been a role model to Miley. What happened to Miley? She used to be such a nice looking kid.

Why the hell wasnt there a “WARNING: GRAPHIC” label in your post? I watched the video and now won’t be able to sleep for days!

You saw Hillary and Miley Cyrus in the same headline. Do you also need rattlesnakes to have labels warning you that "the state of California has determined this animal may be hazardous to your health"?

Why doesn’t she go play with herself?

She's afraid to. She knows where those fingers have been.

This insidious idol worshipping and ridiculing of trump happens every night on every late night talk show. people who watch AND believe are unrecoverable and mind numbed idiots. Miley Cyrus was supposed to leave the country and I am very disappointed Fallon has her on 5 nights and let’s her weep all over a known criminal and power mad crime family leader.

“Do you like Hillary?” should be at the top of any mental health professional’s list of questions asked to patients to ascertain their grip or otherwise on reality.

Great news. I think Hillary should run again in 2020. Just look at her field of support and admiration.
