In her latest tweet, Clinton took aim at Republican Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, who used racial slurs to refer to Native Americans and Asians during a campaign speech.

Moore, who was a chief justice on Alabama Supreme Court, was actually making a speech against all sorts of divisions -- racial, social, political, class -- but resorted to terms -- "reds and yellows" -- that are traditionally and historically insensitive toward the two communities.

“We were torn apart in the Civil War — brother against brother, North against South, party against party. What changed?” he said, according to footage obtained by The Hill.

"Now we have blacks and whites fighting, reds and yellows fighting, Democrats and Republicans fighting, men and women fighting. What’s going to unite us? What’s going to bring us back together? A president? A Congress? No. It’s going to be God.”

Clinton used just one perfect tweet to shut him down:

"Mr. Moore, red & yellow are 2 of the colors in the @Crayola8 crayons box. Charlotte [Clinton's daughter] has an extra box I would be happy to send you."

In a statement to The Hill, Moore's campaign rebuffed accusations of racism referring to the religious song, "Jesus Loves the Little Children."

Yes, really.
