As Donald Trump celebrated his sweeping victory in Tuesday night’s Republican primary election, he took a jab—or, well, many jabs—at Hillary Clinton, the Democratic candidate that Trump appears most likely to face come November.

During his victory speech, the billionaire called Clinton “crooked” and said she would make a “horrible” president. But what really has the Internet up in arms is Trump’s comment about Clinton playing the “woman’s card”—the GOP frontrunner’s own version of the “gender card” comments made earlier this year by Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who said “the gender card alone isn’t enough,” in reference to Clinton’s campaign.

“She’s got nothing else going,” Trump said during a press conference after the speech, referring to Clinton’s gender. “And frankly, if Hillary Clinton were a man, I don’t think she’d get 5% of the vote. The only thing she’s got going is the woman’s card. And the beautiful thing is women don’t like her, okay? And look how well I did with women tonight.”

The real beautiful thing, however, was the reaction of Mary Pat Christie, wife of Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ), who was standing behind Trump at the moment he said those words. Part disbelief, part exasperation, her facial expression was quickly turned into a 6-second Vine video by a user named Nick Corasaniti and has since been viewed over a million times.

One possible reason for the Vine’s popularity? It seems likely that Christie’s expression mirrored the reactions of at least some of America’s female population, half of which dislikes Trump.

Watch the Vine below:

Fortune has reached out to a Chris Christie representative for comment and will update this story if the Governor’s office responds.
