Hillary Clinton has been talking about empowering women, but how can that be made to jibe with the Clinton Foundation’s acceptance of donations from Saudi Arabia? The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg shows how it’s done:

No stretch is too far when the Clintons are involved! But it obviously beats using the word “hypocrisy”:
@JeffreyGoldberg Such an elegant, nuanced spin on hypocrisy.

@JeffreyGoldberg or rank hypocrisy if you aren't in the habit of condoning everything Dems do

Yes that's it. We should all be saying thank you to Hillary Clinton for taking Saudi money. https://t.co/OJwIxxeGGx pic.twitter.com/lsUCUFHozT

@JeffreyGoldberg Or a way for a repressive regime to purchase (yet another) muted critique.

@JeffreyGoldberg As long as you mean empowering Saudi women, who actually need that.

Epic spin RT“@RBPundit: I'm sure that's what is going on, Jeff. https://t.co/iuHjA8DRGC @JeffreyGoldberg”

@JeffreyGoldberg Define "women's empowerment." Where did the CF spend money on "women's empowerment" that impacted the Saudis in any way?

.@JeffreyGoldberg Does campaigning for a man against Ernst qualify as "women's empowerment"?https://t.co/lvR94qWeAV pic.twitter.com/41aoG7BNEL

Google the phrase "bimbo eruptions", then tell me what Hillary has done to empower women. https://t.co/FMDFXepmWk

@jeffreygoldberg Did that level of spin at least make you dizzy?
