Hell hath no fury like scorned Hillary Clinton supporters.
Vanity Fair got pummeled with angry tweets Wednesday after its “Hive” blog published a snarky video it called “Six New Year’s Resolutions for Hillary Clinton.”
The one-minute segment, which featured various VF reporters holding flutes of champagne, riffed on what the failed presidential nominee might do next year instead of politics.
Hive blogger Maya Kossoff suggested Clinton take up a new hobby: “volunteer work, knitting, improv comedy — literally anything that will keep you from running again.”
Hive editor John Kelly, meanwhile, advised Clinton to “finally put away your James Comey voodoo doll.”
“We all know you think James Comey cost you the election and he might have,” Kelly said. “But so did a handful of other things. It’s a year later and time to move on.”
The blowback was swift, with Hillary supporters including celebrities, media and political types firing off more than 30,000 tweets, many of them under the hashtag “#CancelVanityFair.”
Others took aim at Vanity Fair’s incoming editor-in-chief Radhika Jones, who recently replaced longtime editor, Graydon Carter. But according VF, Jones did not have anything to do with the video — and either did Carter. It was created during the transition period and it was under the direction of Kelly, the Hive editor.
The spokeswoman said Kelly would not be making a statement, and instead offered a blanket apology: “It was an attempt at humor and we regret that it missed the mark.”
