The Clinton was probably hoping a bit of light-hearted fun would help her image with Latinos, but the move appears to have backfired. The backlash soon began bubbling on Twitter with the hashtag #NotMyAbuela:

Maybe try discussing our issues, not pandering and patronizing, in order to get our votes. #NotMyAbuela @HillaryClinton

Some felt the move was insulting…

The @HillaryClinton campaign pimping out 'abuela' to endear her to the latin community is insulting! #notmyabuela https://t.co/Faq4EwIsR3

And many didn’t like the idea of their abuelas being used to score political points with Latinos.

Soon, people began listing the reasons why their abuelas were nothing like Hillary Clinton:

One of my abuelas, from Utuado, worked washing the dishes and picking coffee since she was 11 years old. Hillary is #NotMyAbuela

Some shared personal stores of immigration…

My Abuela came to this country with a 6th grade education and worked in factories for 50 something cents to a Man's dollar #NotMyAbuela

Hillary Clinton is #NotMyAbuela because she's not separated from part of her family by racist and inhumane immigration laws.

And this tweet pretty much summed up #NotMyAbuela:

Latinos aren't one size fits all. It takes more than a few Spanish words & cute pictures to get the Latino vote. #hillaryabuela #NotMyAbuela
