Actual story behind the photo.
The image, snapped by Barbara Kinney, a photographer on the Clinton campaign, was posted on Twitter, where it was shared more than 8,000 times in a matter of hours and drew hundreds of comments.
“Wow millennials really do hate Hillary,” one commented, tongue in cheek.
Others suspected Mrs Clinton orchestrated the photo-op herself. “I’m assuming she asked people to take selfies? Almost Trump-class on that kind of social media strategy,” one tweeted.
Another commented: “This is so strange that I’m wondering if she invited them to all do it at once.”
For those curious about it, according to this commenter (Juan Franco), he claims he was there and that she asked the crowd to do this.

The wordsmith has never been to Nantucket.
