Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton took a hit at Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus on Thursday, the day after he tweeted that the presidential hopeful should have smiled more during a televised forum.

In a tweet posted after NBC’s Commander-In-Chief forum, Priebus criticized Clinton for having “no smile” while talking about foreign policy.

Clinton brushed off Priebus’ comments during a press conference, saying she didn’t smile during the forum because she was talking about serious issues.

“I don’t take anything seriously that comes from the RNC,” Clinton said.

She also criticized Republican nominee Donald Trump for praising Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“Maybe he did it with a smile, and I guess the RNC would have liked that,” Clinton said.

* So sexist. What is this crud about women have to smile all the time wtf?*

5. Maybe he's the one telling Kellyanne Conway to smile her fixed creepy smile

[DURHAM D]

7. Kellyann's smile is fixed and permanent due to

multiple plastic surgeries on her face.

6. What a stupid exchange

I suppose she was asked directly about it but good lord.

Everyone should smile btw it makes the world a better place

[niyad]

12. so, one should smile while one is talking about terrorism, aleppo, refugees, etc?

[ffr]

8. I really enjoyed her press conference this AM

She spelled it out perfectly. She's our one hope for a future. The other candidate is worrying, to say the least, a danger to our way of life is more like it.

9. Is there anything worse then a man telling a woman to smile?

It is so condescending and sexist. Would anyone criticize a male candidate for not smiling during a foreign policy discussion?

After Hillary is elected, a lot of education will have to take place.

14. It's a sign of how sexist many still are, that she cannot say

Exactly that in response.

Her reply was very good, but the heart of the matter is that it is very sexist and only sexists would object to her correctly pointing that out.

16. Women should stay away from customer service jobs then

That's all they do is tell employees to put on a smile.

Americans seem to like smiles....even when they are fake.

[milestogo]

17. That's a little different.

If employees are supposed to be giving customer service, smiling or being pleasant applies to both male and female.

But all women have had the experience of having a male who is a complete stranger tell her to smile - as if she exists only for him to look at and it is her role in life to be pleasing. Its amazing that total strangers will comment on a facial expression, but somehow they feel they have the right to do this.

10. I would have told him to fuck off.

Good to know she does not take anything seriously from those idiots. I don't either.

11. Great responses from Hilary.

Rancid PriebASS...Geeeezus, you really said that? Assrocket.

[niyad]

13. and we know damned well that if HRC HAD smiled, the penis would have screamed about her

being flippant or casual about the serious subjects she (most certainly not the tangerine tyrant) was discussing,

[ProfessorGAC]

22. You Said It!

The comment would have been something about how you couldn't take her seriously because she was smiling while talking serious subjects.

Her best comment was that she doesn't take anything from the RNC seriously.

[book_worm]

15. When does Trump ever smile???

19. Great way to alienate women voters, RNC!

Many women have received the offhand comment before from a random man:

"SMILE!"
or "You're prettier when you smile"

I know I got it a lot, along wth other, much more egregious sexual harrassment from men, mostly strangers who just wanted my attention for a second, or whatever. It's fucking annoying.

Women get similar comments in more involved settings and conversations / discussions as well. This is well documented, and women are fucking sick of it.

Good job turning off women, Rince!

21. There is nothing that pisses me off more than a

random male who tells me to smile.

I'm not here for your pleasure, jackass.

This is on such a larger scale. Screw him.
