Obama's Clinton Endorsement Leads to Twitter War

Republicans bashed President Barack Obama's endorsement of Hillary Clinton for the White House, with presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump starting a Twitter war with his likely Democratic opponent.

Here's what the developer said:

Obama just endorsed Crooked Hillary. He wants four more years of Obama—but nobody else does!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 9, 2016

And Clinton responded:

Delete your account. https://t.co/Oa92sncRQY

— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) June 9, 2016

Then, Sean Spicer, the Republican National Committee's communications director and chief strategist, tweeted:

Whichever intern just sent this doesn't get its not smart for you to talk about deleting anything cc @FBI https://t.co/IVO8bcwMA5

— Sean Spicer (@seanspicer) June 9, 2016

And RNC Chairman Reince Priebus soon followed:

.@HillaryClinton If anyone knows how to use a delete key, it's you.

— Reince Priebus (@Reince) June 9, 2016

Trump then hit back:

How long did it take your staff of 823 people to think that up--and where are your 33,000 emails that you deleted? https://t.co/gECLNtQizQ

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 9, 2016

Shortly after Obama's announcement, Priebus also sent this tweet:

I don't think there's been a candidate for this office more unethical and untrustworthy than Hillary Clinton. https://t.co/h3L6Evi13b

— Reince Priebus (@Reince) June 9, 2016

The chairman also said in a statement that the president's endorsement "makes clear what Hillary Clinton has telegraphed this entire campaign — she is running to give President Obama's failed polices a third term.

"President Obama has trampled the Constitution, buried our country in $9 trillion in crushing new debt, presided over the weakest economy in a generation, and with Clinton's help, pursued a weak and dangerous foreign policy that has made us less safe.

"As Obama's secretary of state, Hillary Clinton put our national security at risk with her illicit email server, which she devised to skirt government transparency laws and obscure her unethical dealings as the nation's top diplomat." Priebus continued. "Hillary Clinton is the first ever presidential candidate to be under an FBI investigation — and her corrupt family foundation has taken millions from foreign governments is an unprecedented conflict of interest."
