Democratic Presumptive Nominee for President former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton speaks with her Democratic candidate for Vice President, U.S. Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) during a campaign rally with voters at the Florida International University Panther Arena in Miami, Florida on July 23, 2016. Johnny Louis—FilmMagic/Getty Images by [Seth Abramovitch / The Hollywood Reporter](https://time.com/author/the-hollywood-reporter/) ## Seth Abramovitch / The Hollywood Reporter Jul 26, 2016 7:02 PM UTC TBS has responded to a controversial video and accompanying tweet [posted to its official Twitter account](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/samantha-bee-tells-tbs-delete-914561) that compared Hillary Clinton to a hyena. The video led one of its stars, Samantha Bee, to respond: “Delete your account.” “This post was obviously a poor attempt at humor and has been taken down,” the network said Tuesday in a statement. “Moving forward we’ll leave political satire to professionals like Samantha Bee.” Bee called her network out on Twitter on Monday night as the Democratic National Convention drew to a close, but deleted the tweet minutes later. The 24-second video, “Hillary Clinton’s Call of the Wild,” featured clips of a laughing Clinton alternating with shots of a pack of wild hyenas making cackling sounds. It was created on July 22 by the Heckler, a [TBS-owned comedy site](https://theheckler.tbs.com/), and reposted to the main TBS account two days later. “Move over Donkey! There’s a new mascot in town. … #ImWithHyena,” the accompanying tweet read. _This_ [_article_](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/tbs-apologizes-hillary-hyena-video-914626) _originally appeared on_ [_HollywoodReporter.com_](http://HollywoodReporter.com) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4424382/tbs-hillary-clinton-hyena-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4424382/tbs-hillary-clinton-hyena-video/"},"headline":"TBS Apologizes for Hillary Clinton Hyena Video","datePublished":"2016-07-26T19:02:59.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-19T07:44:22.276Z","description":"Samantha Bee told the network, 'Delete your account'","url":"https://time.com/4424382/tbs-hillary-clinton-hyena-video/","keywords":["motto","Social Media","2016 Election","Television","News"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfd4538601af3e81e/69889f73bc6cfc7f763ddfa2/hilllary-clinton-tbs-hyena.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Seth Abramovitch / The Hollywood Reporter"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfd4538601af3e81e/69889f73bc6cfc7f763ddfa2/hilllary-clinton-tbs-hyena.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Hillary Clinton Miami Rally","caption":"Democratic Presumptive Nominee for President former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton speaks with her Democratic candidate for Vice President, U.S. Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) during a campaign rally with voters at the Florida International University Pant","creditText":"Johnny Louis—FilmMagic/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/motto/","name":"motto"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4424382/tbs-hillary-clinton-hyena-video/","name":"TBS Apologizes for Hillary Clinton Hyena Video"}}]}] ```
