House Speaker Paul Ryan created a typical day in the life of social media the other day when he posted this “selfie” with interns on Capitol Hill.
It raised questions about diversity on Capitol Hill, ABC News said of the mostly-white selfie.
It has sparked a fascinating online offensive from other congresspeople who are posting selfies and other images of interns showing much more diversity.
