Wired reports on a new Twitter hashtag recently created by Hillary Clinton’s social media team: #gendercard. Along with the hashtag was a Tweet containing a picture of a card with several of Clinton’s proposed policy changes such as “Affordable Child Care” and “Paid Family Leave.” The Tweet and hashtag are a response to Sen. Mitch McConnell’s statement to constituents in Kentucky, saying the “gender card alone” would not win the race of Hillary Clinton. Clinton responded saying, “There is a gender card being played in this campaign. It’s played every time Republicans vote against giving women equal pay, deny families access to affordable child care or family leave, refuse to let women make decisions about their health or have access to free contraception.”
