Just two days after Sarah Silverman gave a rousing speech at the Democratic National Convention fully backing Hillary Clinton—and fully calling out "Bernie or bust" supporters—hackers gained access to her Twitter account and tweeted a particularly unpleasant comment about the Democratic nominee.

The tweet in question, which has since been deleted, links to a video from "Anonymous," the international group of hackers that "declared war" on Donald Trump earlier this year. The tweet said, "America, are you awakening?" with a link to the video, which attacks Clinton, as well as a #Hilary4Prison hashtag. Here's a screen grab of the tweet:

Minutes later, Silverman took to her Twitter to clarify that her account was hacked.

Never has there been a more opportune time for Silverman to use Taylor Swift's infamous line: "I would very much like to be excluded from this narrative, one that I have never asked to be a part of."
