Hillary Clinton’ Twitter account tweeted a photo, and then quickly deleted it, of the Democratic presidential candidate shaking hands with a white man with what appears to be ‘white power’ tattoos.
The photo was copied and retweeted before the Clinton campaign took down the tweet.
Baltimore reporter Paul Gessler commented on the photo.
Did Hillary Clinton just tweet a photo of her shaking hands with a guy with a White Power tattoo? https://t.co/9SVj1WlikH

Update: A copy of the complete Hillary Clinton tweet was made. It was accompanied by a message from Clinton that read:
“”I think we are a nation that really believes in a helping hand, in the generosity of connecting with friends, neighbors and strangers to give them chances they might not otherwise have.” –Hillary”
