Scott Morrison tackled a child to the ground during an election photo-op. A new meme format is being born in real time.

Morrison was campaigning in the state of Tasmania on Wednesday when he showed a small child what he was talking about. In 2015, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson ran over a 10-year old during a rugby match photo-op.

Photos and video of the incident immediately hit social media platforms, with people poking fun at the Morrison stunt. Morrison was playing soccer with children. To be honest, your guess is as good as ours. The prime minister described himself as a bulldozer recently.

Morrison is the leader of the big-L Liberal Party and is up for re-election. Morrison is running neck-and-neck with Anthony Albanese, a man who is proving tougher competition than the child the prime minister crushed today.

If you want to see how the tackle landed in the real world, there is a video of it.

Morrison has been turned into a meme before. The PM denied on the radio that he'd ever shit his pants at McDonald's. Morrison shit his pants at a McDonald's in New South Wales in 2019. Morrison was elected in the first quarter of 2019.

We have photographic versions of Morrison's tackle to turn into your own meme. Click through for more shots from today's bizarre incident.

Don't forget to vote on Saturday if you are an Australian citizen. If you don't vote, you'll get fined. It is different from the U.S. system, where one party relies on keeping people from voting in order to hold on to power.
