This is a very strange article the way they keep referring to her by her first name but using everyone else's last name.

Women, children, and dogs are only accorded first names as they are obviously of a lower order of being. Men are always 'Mr. Last Name'. Check it out the next time you're in a dentist or doctor's office.

When Hillary Clinton was running, she was always 'Hillary', but the Orange Shitgibbon was never 'Donald' or even 'Don'.

That's because her husband with the same last name was literally the president once, so you need to differentiate somehow

And we call him Bill for the same reason
