Um, hopefully I'm just old and out of the loop. But does that hand gesture mean something else now? I wouldn't expect to see that on a political news article.

I'm with you, I found that picture a bit.... shocking.

I tried strategically googling it and couldn't find a definitive answer. I did find this, which at least proves that there is a SFW interpretation, even if the link does everything but tell you what that is:

(Edited to add: the link is entirely SFW, it's an old news article)

Pray tell?

What does this hand gesture mean to you? I have no clue and would have assumed they were courting the crips vote.

It’s the Shocker.

Two in the pink, one in the stink.

It isn't actually. The shocker gesture has the index and middle fingers touching. This is the Sigma Gamma Rho sorority hand gesture where the two fingers are parted.
