A closed-door meeting between Vice President-elect Mike Pence and GOP members of the House of Representatives concluded with the whitest selfie ever (at least since the last GOP selfie).

Mike Pence, naturally, was in control of the selfie stick when he snapped this shot of the predominantly white, mostly male group of legislators.

Lucky for us, though, there's an alternate angle of Pence taking the selfie so that we can see just how the selfie sausage got made.

For reference's sake, prior to this election, the GOP held 247 seats; of those, 10 are held by Hispanic Americans (roughly 4 percent), one identifies as Asian/Pacific Islander (roughly 0.4 percent), and two (Mia Love of Utah and Will Hurd of Texas) are African-American (0.8 percent). Twenty three of the 88 women in the House are GOP members (making up 9.3 percent of the GOP members).

By comparison, Democrats, who hold 188 seats, have 26 Hispanic members (10.5 percent), 10 Asian/Pacific Islander members (5.3 percent), and 43 African-American members (roughly 23 percent). The Dems also have 65 women members (34.5 percent)

It didn't escape the notice of Twitter users, either.

It's not the first time in 2016 that the GOP has posted a conspicuously white selfie involving House Speaker Paul Ryan. In July, the party demonstrated the lack of diversity within its Capitol Hill intern program with this selfie posted by Ryan.

Internet photoshop wizard @darth had no trouble, though, altering Pence's selfie to something slightly more terrifying.
