The GOP released a graphic Monday that mirrors a tagline from Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign.

“We’re only getting stronger together,” the graphic says, with the text superimposed over a picture of President Trump.

Trump made the statement during a rally in El Paso, Texas, on Monday night. The tweet was sent during the rally.

The phrase “Stronger Together” was also the slogan of Clinton’s 2016 candidacy.

Clinton and her running mate Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) wrote a book during the campaign with that same name.

Clinton herself retweeted the image Tuesday morning, saying that the GOP should “now copy my plan on health care, a fairer tax system, and voting rights.”
 
 
Others had also weighed in. Jesse Ferguson, a former deputy national spokesman for Clinton, appeared to note the similarity on Twitter.

Republican National Committee spokesmann Steve Guest told The Hill that “when you lose your campaign, you lose your monopoly on any slogans.”

“As we saw at his packed rally, President Trump continues to unite the American people behind his pro-border security agenda,” he said.
