2016 Presidential Election: 20 WTF Moments

16. Hillary's "Emojigate"

In a rather embarrassing attempt to connect with young prospective voters in August 2015, Hillary tweeted, "How does your student loan debt make you feel? Tell us in 3 emojis or less."

Though Hillary was basically trying to be a little playful, the Twitter massive responded with pure vitriol, believing her tweet to be condescending and transparently pandering to youngsters.

Some of the more golden replies include, "Hillary your my gal, but just no" and "How does finally handing over your server to federal investigators make you feel?", before Clinton eventually acknowledged the gaffe with a hilarious "¯\_(ツ)_/¯" tweet.

Old people and technology. Just no.
