Hillary Clinton tweeted the results of the filibuster vote in the US Senate on Thursday night. Then she quickly took it down.
Hillary’s gaffe was all over Twitter:
🚨🚨🚨🚨Hillary Clinton seems to have DELETED a tweet responding to last night's filibuster vote.... and in it she accused "forty-eight Republicans and two Democrats" of blocking the right of Black Americans to vote.

Western Journal reported:
As sharp-eyed Twitter monitors noticed, Clinton took down a post in the middle of a thread about the Senate showdown that resulted in a united Republican Party and two Democratic senators combining to keep the filibuster in place in the upper body of Congress.
A woman who’s spent her entire adult life in politics misstated the voting tally…
…“Forty-eight Republicans and two Democrats are in the history books for using the filibuster to do what the filibuster does best: block the right of Americans, particularly Black Americans, to vote,” Clinton wrote in the deleted tweet.
As just about anyone who’s followed the months-long dramatic Democratic efforts to put the federal government in control of state elections — a violation of the Constitution as well as common sense — knows, the voting breakdown was 50 Republicans with two Democrats voting to support the filibuster.
