Russian foreign ministry responds to Sarah Jessica Parker Sex and the City meme

Sarah Jessica Parker has received an invitation from the Russian ambassador to meet in further proof that 2017 is shaping up to be one very strange year. 

The invitation came about after the Sex and the City actor posted a meme on Instagram on Thursday as a joke in response to the controversy surrounding meetings the US attorney general Jeff Sessions had with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak

Sessions to recuse himself from any investigation

Newly appointed US Attorney General Jeff Sessions has said he will not participate in any investigation into his failure to disclose contact with Russia's ambassador during the Trump campaign.

The meme, which has been gaining traction online, shows Parker in character as Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw typing into her laptop to ponder whether she was the only person who hadn't been speaking with the Russian government. The meme is a riff on one of Carrie Bradshaw's signature sayings, "I couldn't help but wonder..."

 

I had to. Don't know the provenance however whoever you are, thank you. X, sj

Earlier this week Sessions got into strife for not disclosing meetings that he had with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak during the Trump presidential campaign. Sessions was the first senator to endorse Trump as a presidential nominee. Sessions later recused himself from his department's investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 election. 

This follows the resignation of National Security Adviser and former general Michael Flynn who was found to have lied about the substance of his phone conversations with the Russian envoy during the transition period  between the Obama and Trump presidencies.

Back to Sarah Jessica Parker, who received this response from the Russian government on Twitter after posting her meme.

The actor is so far yet to make her RSVP to the invitation known.
