As part of a campaign stop in New York City Thursday morning, Hillary Clinton rode the subway. And, in an "average person" moment, she had a bit of a struggle. It took her several times to swipe her Metro Card before making it through. Once through and on the subway car, she tried to laugh along and appeal to her fellow riders.
Many on Twitter and in the media laughed along, but also defended her for being like the rest of us.
Watch for this: People who attack Clinton for multiple MetroCard swipes... They've probably never been on the NYC subway.

Yes, it took Hillary Clinton three or four swipes to get through the turnstile. Also, it takes everyone three or four swipes.

Lmfao. Hillary Clinton is currently riding the NYC subway live on CNN. Mic drop to Bernie. She knows what a metro card is.

The amusing moment was captured by a CNN Live video, as a panel discussed hers and the Bernie Sanders campaign.
