With 41.9 million followers on Instagram and a book consisting of photographs of herself titled "Selfish," there is is no denying the fact that Kim Kardashian is, indeed, the selfie queen, according to The Verge.
However, the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star does not stop there; she has leveled up her selfie game by posting a group photo with the presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, per Entertainment Weekly.
The Democratic candidate was in a 250-person fundraiser in Los Angeles Thursday evening held at the home of Justine Bieber's manager. Kim and husband Kanye West attended the event as well. Tickets were sold at $2,700, On Politics reported.
The Verge also noted that a selfie was the "strongest endorsement" Kim could give Clinton.
Jezebel reported that the reality star posted the photo on Instagram, but immediately took it down as she had misspelled the word "president" to "presisent." She then posted it again with the caption, "I got my selfie!!! I really loved hearing her speak & hearing her goals for our country!" Kim ended the post with the hashtag, "#HillaryForPresident."
The photo was in line with Clinton's email to supporters, saying that she would not watch the 2016 Republican Debate. The email, as released by The Guardian via Paul Owen, with the subject "I’m not watching tonight’s debate," stated, "Right this minute, ten Republican men are on national TV, arguing over which one will do the best job of dragging our country backwards. I’m not watching, and I don’t need to be."
Clinton further added, "Donald Trump, Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, Marco Rubio -- they all have the same agenda. They are out of step with the kind of country Americans want for themselves and their children."
Kanye was also seen lurking in the background of the selfie, which got 865,000 likes on Instagram and around 30,000 mixed reactions from commenters. However, The Verge remarked that the hip hop artist was "saving his endorsement smile for the first Democratic primary debate."
Kim was not the only Kardashian, who had a selfie with Clinton. Her mom, Kris Jenner, also posted a picture with the presidential candidate on Instagram. She captioned it with, "An Honor to meet you Hillary Clinton! Great evening... #ohjustchatting"
Other Hollywood stars who attended the fundraiser were Jeffrey Katzenberg, Jessica Alba, Tom Hanks and Usher, On Politics reported.
