Scott Olson/Getty Images(NEW YORK) — Hillary Clinton hosted a Q&A session on Facebook Monday where she answered questions from users about everything from immigration to her variety of pantsuits.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton chatted with Facebook users live on Monday as a way to appeal to voters on social media, many of which are younger and paying off student loans. One person asked Hillary how she would help students with loans.
“I’ll be putting forward specific proposals to refinance debt so it becomes more affordable, encourage more people to use income contingency repayment program so you are paying back as a percentage of what you actually earn, to try to make college more affordable to start with so that students today and tomorrow don’t end up with the amount of debt you and 40 million other Americans currently have,” she responded. “This is one of my biggest economic and educational priorities and I will be addressing it from the first day I become president.”
She also took time to answer questions about immigration. The topic of immigration has been in the headlines due to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s comments about Mexican immigrants.
“Donald Trump in particular is getting a lot of attention for some hateful rhetoric, but Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio actually agree with him on denying a pathway to citizenship and consigning hardworking immigrants to second class status,” she told a user asking about her stance on immigration. “I will fight for comprehensive immigration reform that includes that pathway to citizenship”
One user asked Hillary what she would say to first-time voters.
“I believe it’s important to vote because I don’t want to leave voting to those with whom I disagree – whether it’s about LGBT rights, climate change, student debt, or any other important issue,” she answered. “If you don’t vote, you empower people who do vote who you don’t agree with.”
Naturally, the topic of Hillary’s pantsuits came up and one user asked what her favorite pantsuit was.
“I never met a pantsuit I didn’t love,” she responded.
