#NationalSelfieDay: Rev. Al Sharpton posts mirror selfie, Internet blasts him

On National Selfie Day, a celebrity most wouldn’t suspect to become selfie poster child has the internet ablaze. (Hint: It’s not a Kardashian.)

Civil rights activist Rev. Al Sharpton posted a Father’s Day/gym flow mirror selfie to his Instagram account Sunday that has since raised a few eyebrows.

Many on social media are roasting the 62-year-old for the seemingly random full-body mirror selfie.

Criticisms ranged from commenting on his slim figure to poking fun at his awkward posing.

The jokes didn’t stop there. After footage of Sharpton’s one-armed push ups were discovered, even rapper Nelly was looking for answers as to who Sharpton was snapping pics for.

It wasn’t long before the rest of social media caught on and birthed the #AlSharptonChallenge.

Despite the social media dragging, Sharpton seems unbothered. He posted a selfie alongside Rev. Jesse Jackson in honor of National Selfie Day.
