College student pulls faces behind Clinton

All eyes were on a US college student during a speech made by Hillary Clinton in Iowa as he pulled funny faces, earning him the name of Sticker Kid.

To US presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton the Iowa caucus could set the tone for the rest of her White House run, but for one college student it was just a great opportunity to clown around.

Drake University student Peter Clinkscales, now known as Sticker Kid, was spotted pulling funny faces while seated behind the Democrat during a speech on Monday with two big pro-Clinton stickers stuck to his cheeks.

As the camera pulls out during her address, Sticker Kid, whose very own hashtag is now trending, realises he's on TV and begins to chew like a cow and dance around.

"#stickerkid was the real winner last night," one fan tweeted.

"Omg. #stickerkid steals the show #hero of the #IowaCaucus," another said.

"Sticker boy is my hero," Dr Dathan Paterno tweeted.

While many wondered whether Sticker Kid perhaps worked for Trump or was trolling Clinton, he later revealed that wasn't the case but he also wasn't a Hillary supporter.

"I'm undecided," he told Mashable.
