Le Tigre is with the "pantsuit-wearing herstorical first-timer."
In September, Kathleen Hanna revealed Le Tigre had reunited and that they were recording a new song to be released in October. Today the electro-punk trio of Johanna Fateman, Kathleen Hanna, and JD Samson made good on their promise with "I’m With Her"—the pro-Hillary Clinton anthem of your dreams.
Lyrics like, "She doesn’t bake cookies, doesn’t play much golf / And the whole world is watching her persistent cough," poke fun at the sexism Clinton has faced during her political career. Le Tigre also takes a few jabs at Clinton’s opponent, singing, "Trump thinks Putin is a 'very strong leader' / Just like him, a fascist bottom feeder."

The video, made by director Laura Parnes and producer Tanya Selvartnam of Filmmakers for Hillary, features footage of Hillary Clinton, her supporters, Le Tigre wearing pantsuits Hillary would definitely approve, and of course, cats.
Watch the full video below—but beware. You might have the chorus stuck in your head until November 8th.
