Remington trolls Hillary about email server scandal

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — Gun manufacturer Remington posted a humorous Tweet Thursday in response to a recent gaffe by Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Earlier this week Clinton shrugged and said “What, like with a cloth or something?” when asked by reporters whether or not she “wiped” her email server clean before handing it over to the FBI.

Though Clinton clearly meant the comment as a joke, the soundbite has become synonymous with her campaign’s lackadaisical attitude toward the allegations that the former Secretary of State improperly handled top secret and classified data on her personal email server.

Now Remington, the American company behind some of the world’s most popular firearms, is getting in on the joke, and participating in some good, “clean fun,” via Twitter.

Remington decided to open a plant in Alabama last year after anti-gun policies essentially drove the company out of its long-time home of New York.

“In Alabama we strongly support and uphold our great U.S. Constitution on which our nation and our states were founded,” Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley told Yellowhammer in November. “The Constitution serves to protect individual Freedoms. Among them are those guaranteed in the Second Amendment, which protects the right of the people to keep and bear Arms. We will protect the Freedoms of individuals and welcome any one or any company to Alabama to discover as so many have, that we are a pro-business state filled with good, hardworking people.”
