The classic selfie with a politician is essentially the perfect situation for a massive stitch-up. Politicians are for the most part baby boomers with only a fledging understanding of how smartphones and social media work, so you’re basically in the clear to do whatever you like. Exhibit A:
Ah, from the mouths of babes.
Here’s a primo example of one that didn’t go so well. A bloke by the name of Alfredo Pelicci did his darndest to get a good one with Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway, but she’s maybe slightly too savvy to say “I’m ruining America” in a selfie video. Just maybe.
Have a looksie:
She followed his extremely reasonable request by saying “Happy? You must feel really brave saying that.”
According to Pelicci, she continued after the camera stopped rolling. “You’re so brave! You should be happy!” she reportedly said, in a “less professional” tone.
Let that be a lesson to you: Kellyanne is onto your wily schemes. Including the really subtle ones like telling her to say “I’m ruining America” on camera.
