U
S Democratic Party presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton was declared a winner in primaries in North Carolina, Florida, Ohio, Missouri and Illinois on Tuesday night (local time).
While people were busy celebrating the exciting announcement and watching Clinton give her primary night speech on TV, a few male journalists were focusing on her pouting face instead, as reported by huffingtonpost.com.
It started when MSNBC's Joe Scarborough, using Twitter handle @JoeNBC, tweeted: "Smile. You just had a big night. #PrimaryDay".

Fox News Channel senior political analyst Brit Hume, on his account @brithume, commented: "Hillary having a big night in the primaries. So she's shouting angrily in her victory speech. Supporters loving it. What's she mad at?"

Internet users quickly responded to the tweet by Scarborough, accusing him of being sexist. Comedian and TV host Samantha Bee, tweeting from @FullFrontalSamB, for example, said: "Ladies, it's very important that you #SmileForJoe", alongside a photo of herself frowning.
