How The #IAmHillary Hashtag Perfectly Sums Up Clinton's Controversial Legacy

The same day interim Democratic National Committee Chair Donna Brazile went public with claims that Hillary Clinton's campaign had used the DNC's debt to take control of the Democratic Party, the hashtag #IAmHillary was trending on Twitter. But as the tweets containing #IAmHillary show, people are still clearly divided over Clinton's legacy.

Politco published an excerpt Thursday from Brazile's forthcoming book, Hacks: The Inside Story of the Break-ins and Breakdowns That Put Donald Trump in the White House. In it, Brazile alleges the Clinton campaign poured significant amounts of money into a cash-strapped DNC in exchange for "control of its operations." But along with keeping the nation talking about the 2016 election, Brazile's allegations appear to have also renewed debate over Clinton's legacy.

However, while some are still "With Her," others aren't convinced the former Democratic nominee would have been the better candidate. Where some view Clinton as a trailblazing pioneer for women and young girls, others reportedly see a dubious establishment politician. This isn't the first time Clinton's legacy has come up for debate, nor is it likely to be the last given how polarizing a figure the first woman to be named the presidential nominee of a major U.S. political party has become over the last few years.

Here's how some have responded to the #IAmHillary hashtag trending on Twitter:
