The ban on White House selfies didn’t last long. Vice President Joe Biden started an Instagram account Wednesday, and he inaugurated it with a selfie of him and the president.
That simple act resulted in an avalanche of critiques from Twitter users, and the Twitchy team was only too happy to collect them and let us in on the fun.
It all began with the vice president’s innocent tweet — well, come to think of it, nothing having anything to do with Biden is ever innocent.

Now, let the hilarity begin:

Followed by overall assessments, such as these:
Presidential decline: “Ask not what your country can do for you…” “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.” “Hey, Joe, wanna take a selfie?”
