“I could send you some pamphlets that might help you understand”, Clinton quipped. She met Galifianakis’ awkward questions with deadpan responses and an impressive death stare.
Galifianakis went on to ask Clinton a number of uncomfortable questions on a variety of topics.

“When he becomes president and Kid Rock becomes secretary of state, would you move to Canada, or one of the Arctics?” “I would try to prevent him from destroying the United States”.
