The suggestion, part of an online video poking fun at the failed presidential candidate, was greeted with outrage, disdain and near-hysteria from Vanity Fair’s readership who immediately complained of sexism.

"It was an attempt at humor and we regret that it missed the mark," Beth Kseniak, a spokeswoman for Vanity Fair said Wednesday. The video can still be found on Twitter.

Clinton supporters were so angry over incident that they created a #CancelVanityFair hashtag on social media.

I would prefer that Hilary adopt making nitroglycerin while riding roller coasters as her new hobby.

Making license plates would become her very much.

She doesn’t have the talent or skill.

Like everything else she’s ever “done”, she’d need someone actually doing the work and her role would be screaming at the poor schmuck that took the job.
