Hillary Clinton is mocking Russian President Vladimir Putin for "manspreading."
During an appearance on "The Late Show" with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday, Clinton said that the U.S. intelligence community and others have said Putin had a "personal grudge" against her.
"I don't take it personally. I think it's part of his world view, which is all tied up with his anger, his disappointment in the collapse of the Soviet Union, and his feeling that we're his No. 1 rival," Clinton said.
She added: "Partly because I'm a woman, which seems to get him a bit agitated — he actually has said that — some things about that."
Clinton was asked by Colbert if the Russian leader ever said anything to her personally that demonstrated this.
"Well, he certainly demonstrated," Clinton said. "There's an expression, we certainly know it in New York, called 'manspreading.' "
Clinton said Putin sat with his legs spread wide apart every time she met with him, before demonstrating it herself.
Earlier this month, Clinton said she wouldn't rule out questioning the legitimacy of the presidential election if the country learns the Russian interference in the election is deeper than known.
If Hillary couldn't handle the way someone's legs were positioned then she couldn't handle being president
I watched that interview.
The conclusion that she "couldn't handle it" is so shamelessly dishonest that I don't even feel inspired enough to come up with a clever way of insulting it. It's untrue. The story she told was meant to convey the type of person Putin was; she handled the encounter just fine.

Maude, anyone that uses the term "manspresding" or even makes any notice of it should immediately be disqualified

Yeah, the OP left out the part where Putin told her about his wildlife conservation efforts, and asked her whether Bill would like to go on a Russian wild-life viewing trip with him. Upon which she opened wide her baby-blues, and said that if Bill couldn't go, she would. Absolutely cracked me up.
And if you don't understand why that is hilarious, well...
