Video of Hillary Clinton snapping at environmental questioner goes viral across internet [View all]

[Cheese Sandwich]

Hillary Clinton lost composure and berated a young activist at a campaign event today in New York.

According to Greenpeace USA, Mrs. Clinton "lost her patience with a Greenpeace activist who thanked her for her commitment to climate change then asked her whether she'll reject fossil fuel money moving forward."

The former Secretary of State pointed her finger inches from the face of the questioner, Eva Resnick-Day, and accused her of being an agent of the Bernie Sanders campaign.

While Senator Sanders has widespread support among the grassroots environmental community, there is no evidence connecting this question with the Sanders campaign. Clinton supporters online struggled to defend their candidate's hostile and defensive reaction to a mildly challenging question from a concerned citizen.

Clinton said she only takes money from fossil fuel employees, not the actual companies. She shouted that the accusations were "lies".

Within hours the video was seen as going viral, receiving thousands of upvotes and likes on social media sites including:
