Hillary Clinton announced her bid for the presidency on Sunday afternoon, and within hours her potential Republican rivals slammed her on everything from foreign policy to corruption.
Like Clinton, who announced her candidacy on Twitter, GOP heavyweights used social media as the primary vehicle for their opening salvos. Gathered below are a few of their reactions.
Jeb Bush criticized Clinton's foreign policy record as Secretary of State.
Rand Paul painted Clinton as a corrupt Washington insider.
Ted Cruz said that Clinton represents the failed policies of the past, and a third term for Obama.
Carly Fiorina said Clinton was a "highly intelligent woman," but has no track record of accomplishment.
Donald Trump did not directly challenge Clinton, but did agree with one of his supporters that the GOP should nominate him to stop her.
Scott Walker condemned Clinton's failed foreign policy and her status as a longtime Washington insider.
Marco Rubio did not make a statement on Clinton's announcement, likely because he was preparing for his own announcement on Monday.
