The tweet in question showed Kate McKinnon's character with a message that read, "Boo-yah, we smashed your glass ceiling. There was a ghost behind it. #ImWithHer #BustTheCeiling #Ghostbusters."
Reacting to its removal, Feig, 53, told The Wrap, "This is the first I'm hearing about this but I guarantee that none of us - producers or filmmakers - would have taken this tweet down."
"We are pro-woman and all about smashing the glass ceiling and we support the message of this deleted tweet. And I personally am very much pro-Hillary."
The studio explained that "it was a shout-out to our own glass ceiling-busters," referring to the film's stars McKinnon, Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig and Leslie Jones.
