Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary ClintonHillary Rodham ClintonSanders: We are in this until last ballot is cast Bill Clinton: Republican attacks on Hillary ‘not good for America’ Clinton in fundraising email: I’m going to be the nominee MORE was mocked Friday for tweeting a graphic that didn't appear quite right. 

The former secretary of State's campaign tried to illustrate the support for background checks for gun sales by using a Venn diagram. But instead of showing how two groups overlap, as Venn diagrams typically do, it simply showed two circles: one for the 90 percent of Americans who support background checks, and one for the 83 percent of gun owners who do.

Dear Congress,
