Former Rep. Michele Bachmann is offering a lesson to Hillary Clinton on how to use the New York subway after the Democratic presidential candidate had a “tough time” getting through a turnstile this week.

“Hi, this is for Hillary Clinton. I know you had a tough time, Hillary, trying to figure out how to do the subway system even though you were the U.S. senator from New York,” the Minnesota Republican said in a video posted Friday.
Bachmann, who is in New York, swiped her fare card before adding “just that easy, just that quick.”
Bachmann filmed the clip after Clinton took a short ride on the train system Thursday.
But Clinton caught flak after she struggled to get into the subway station, swiping her fare card multiple times.
A few days earlier, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who is competing with Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination, made his own subway-related flub. Sanders said he had recently used tokens to ride the city’s subway, but they were officially phased out in 2003.
Clinton, a New York senator from 2001–2009, took an indirect swipe at her competitor’s remarks Thursday.
“It was my first term when we changed from tokens to Metro Cards,” she said, according to Bloomberg Politics.
