The
article below is satire. Andy Borowitz is an American comedian and New
York Times-bestselling author who satirizes the news for his column,
"The Borowitz Report." 
illary Clinton has followed up the official announcement of her candidacy with a new campaign ad featuring nothing but kittens.
The sixty-second spot stars an assortment of
kittens—tabbies, calicoes, Siamese, and a dozen other breeds—in a
variety of adorable vignettes.
At various points in the advertisement, the kittens
are shown playing in a sock drawer, tangled up in yarn, and chasing a
duckling.
Clinton herself appears only in the final seconds of the ad, saying merely, “Hi. I’m Hillary.”
The commercial immediately drew the wrath of the
Republican National Committee chairman, Reince Priebus, who called it
“woefully short on substance.”
“There’s no mention of what Hillary Clinton would do
to grow our struggling economy, fix the disaster of Obamacare, or repair
our damaged reputation abroad,” a visibly furious Priebus told Fox
News. “It’s just cats.”
In defense of the ad, the Clinton campaign issued the
following statement: “America loves kittens. Loving kittens makes
America strong. Hillary is ready for kittens. Kittens are ready for
Hillary. Meow meow meow meow.”
