Hillary Clinton's Face When The DNC Crowd Chanted "Lock Him Up" Is Going Mega Viral

Yesterday, the 2024 Democratic National Convention kicked off in Chicago with celebrity appearances, key speakers, and a city-wide welcome via a "Trump-Vance 'Weird as Hell'" sign projected on Trump Tower.

And while there is much to discuss about the night, one particular moment has caught the internet's attention: this crowd reaction to Hillary Clinton's speech.

In a now-viral clip of the speech, Clinton comments on former president Donald Trump becoming "the first person to run for president with 34 felony convictions."

Almost immediately, the crowd begins to boo. But then, "Lock him up" chants can be heard throughout the stadium...

Of course, the moment is ironic, considering Trump famously questioned Clinton's email habits during his 2016 campaign, which then led to a probe into her usage, though she was never charged with a crime.

It was during this time that Trump popularized the chant "Lock her up" in relation to the investigation — a fact he now denies.
