- America Rising PAC (@AmericaRising) April 7, 2016Great tabloid story would have been to discover Hillary under the cover of night practicing her subway swipe at the Cortelyou station.
- Annie Karni (@anniekarni) April 7, 2016It's not the first-time a New York subway-related moment has picked up steam for a Democratic presidential candidate this week. In an interview with the Daily News, a New York tabloid, Bernie Sanders said people ride the subway by paying with a "token." Sanders later offered that "you jump over the turnstile."
Lmfao. Hillary Clinton is currently riding the NYC subway live on CNN. Mic drop to Bernie. She knows what a metro card is.

Hillary hitting the subway is just a big Bernie troll over his "token" comment to NYDN
