Hillary Clinton revealed her favorite meme at the Women in the World Summit [1] in NYC — and it involves dogs and women's health.
In the April 6 interview with the New York Times's Nicholas Kristof, Clinton told him her favorite meme is one of a group of dogs sitting around the table, which mocks the relentless photos of white men making decisions about women's health care globally [2] that have made the rounds under Trump's administration. The meme is the work of Twitter user Justin Shanes, who used a photo taken by Brian Eckert [3], and added in the words "Meanwhile, at today's meeting on feline healthcare . . ." You can see the meme below.

The meme was specifically inspired by a tweet from Vice President Mike Pence in which he shared a photo which showed only men talking about the new healthcare bill, which would have multiple negative impacts on women's access to health care.

While Clinton calls it a GIF in her interview, it's very much a meme. You can watch her talk about it in this clip.
