Someone needs to show House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) what a real pint of Guinness looks like.
He held up an embarrassing excuse for what was supposed to be a pint of the black stuff at the Friends of Ireland luncheon in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, and immediately made Twitter users seethe with anger.

Some people took aim at its lack of a proper head, while others questioned just how long it had been sitting there before Ryan held it aloft.
Check out a sampling of the responses below:

The pint's shadow is so embarrassed at how flat and useless it is, it's hidden itself. #StPatricksDay @NaomiOhReally #pintgate pic.twitter.com/IR5JY8REH2

Not sure about Pence, but Ryan has definitely given up any chances to be allowed to enter Ireland ever again... https://t.co/1oZxCU83fh

@NaomiOhReally $5 says he's trying to pass Diet Coke off as Guinness. It's a lepre-con

If it's any consolation, Mr Ryan's political career is likely ending soon🍀

This is definitely a man who’s never had to hold a Guinness while watching his Premier League team break his own heart in a pub at 6am. https://t.co/ZwITP4rbvD
