Did Hillary Clinton Miss the Mark with Her Kwanzaa-Inspired Campaign Logo?

Democratic Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton debuted a new campaign logo on Saturday. The former Secretary of State changed her Twitter avatar to the image which mimics the Kinara to commerate the beginning of Kwanzaa. Hillary Clinton Sits Down With Black Lives Matter Activists Black Twitter didn’t take too kindly to the change and quickly issued a clapback to the former First Lady.

Super questionable logos @HillaryClinton has used to secure black voters since announcing her candidacy this summer: pic.twitter.com/LUmeaTdMKX

To be clear, @HillaryClinton‘s appropriated the classic RUN DMC logo, put Rosa Parks on the back of the bus & made a kwanzaa candle holder.

Maybe in 2016 @HillaryClinton will reach out to me through policy like an intelligent voter rather than pop culture & social media pandering

Also, @HillaryClinton‘s past support of mass incarceration is fundamentally against the first principle of kwanzaa, umoja, or family unity.

The logo design has since been removed from Clinton’s Twitter handle. What do you think of Hillary’s Kwanzaa celebration: Was it pandering?
