Just hours after FBI investigation results were released about Hillary Clinton’s email scandal, the presumptive Democratic nominee took off on the campaign trail with stunning imagery.
Not only did President Obama travel to Charlotte, N.C., to campaign with his former campaign rival, he brought along the official lectern featuring the presidential seal. Adding to the visual impact of Clinton addressing crowds with the words “President of the United States” appearing below her, she also had the opportunity to be photographed entering and exiting Air Force One with Obama.
In the words of one Twitter user, the display was nothing short of “shameless.”
On the day that Hillary is officially certified as careless and negligent, she gets to share the Presidential Seal with Obama. Shameless.

How about that advance work of getting that presidential seal on the lectern in front of Hillary Clinton.

Imagery, folks, imagery. She’s standing in front of a podium with the presidential seal on it… It’s called subliminal imagery…

In the past, WH has said the presidential seal isn’t displayed at campaign events. Nothing looks more presidential. pic.twitter.com/GH78IN7hyg

Staging note: when @POTUS has campaigned for others, the presidential seal has often, but not always, been left off lectern

I want to vomit watching @HillaryClinton right now. Pretty cocky to speak with the Presidential seal. God help us ??????

@markknoller @MajorCBS We have entered a time when the king and his favored aristocrats are again above the law. So much for 1776.

@KellyO @ZekeJMiller @HillaryClinton she just got away with mishandling top secret info. Think they give a shit about lectern etiquette?
