Former Secretary of State and current presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton faced the congressional Benghazi committee on Thursday for the second time. The hearing, which saw a relaxed and controlled Clinton, also inspired reaction memes that are pretty hilarious. First up there’s a lovely tweet that compared Congressman Gowdy to a Slytherin house member and all around jerk, Draco Malfoy.

Then there was another that compared Gowdy to John Steadman, an actor most well known for his role in Wes Craven’s classic “The Hills Have Eyes.”

The majority of the memes and tweets were simply ones that praised Hillary’s composure, cool, dominance and boredom during the hearing.
