Twitter user Awesomely Luvvie tweeted, “That picture of Paul Ryan with the GOP interns is so white that I had to put on sunglasses to look directly at it. #GOPSoWhite.”
There were some who, despite the glare, did manage to stare at the photo long enough to find a person of color.
One likened the experience to, “…playing Where’s Waldo,” while another commented, “I FOUND HER! Man, @SpeakerRyan, this #SpeakerSelfie game was totally fun!”
