Introducing 'Hillmoji,' the Hillary Clinton-themed emoji keyboard you can download right now
You might remember the Hillary Clinton Emojigate of August 2015. Don't you wish you could have reacted to it with a "skeptical face" emoji of Clinton herself?
Luckily, the next time Clinton — or anyone else, for that matter — does something you want to reply to with a picture of Clinton herself, you can: Snaps Inc. has created a full keyboard of Hillary emoji, or "Hillmoji," for iMessage, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, email, and other social media platforms. For free, users can download emoji of Clinton wearing three different shades of pantsuits, plus Clinton in a "Brooklyn NYC" shirt (the facial expressions, of course, all vary). There are also stickers that say things like "The SheVote" and "Future is Pink," or "#ICan'tI'mBusyBreakingGlassCeilings."
"Emoji are supposed to be a little bit playful and make someone more relatable,” Snaps founder and Clinton supporter Vivian Rosenthal told The Wall Street Journal. "It might be a catalyst for two friends to start talking about donating some time to the campaign," she added, clearly ignorant of the rich potential here for left-leaning millennials to spam right-wing relatives with pictures of Hillary's laughing face.
