The Vanity Fair Hillary Clinton 'Knitting' controversy stems from a December 2017 video titled '6 New Year’s Resolutions for Hillary Clinton.' In the clip, editors from Vanity Fair’s Hive suggested Clinton should find a new hobby to prevent another presidential run, specifically suggesting she 'take up knitting.' The video sparked a massive bipartisan backlash on social media, with critics labeling it as sexist or dismissive of a historic political figure. The 'knitting' suggestion quickly became a symbol of media missteps and remains a popular reference in political meme culture to describe attempts to sideline powerful figures or offer condescending advice.
