Whoever wrote this tweet about Ralph Northam for NBC Washington deserves a raise:

The tweet was sadly deleted for some reason. But don’t worry — we’ve got it:

RIP us, because we’re dead.

We have so little these days to laugh about. Don’t take this away from us, NBC Washington.

Update:

Assuming they don’t delete this one, too, here’s NBC Washington’s explanation for the deleted tweets about Ralph Northam:

Correction: We made a misjudgment in a tweet about Gov. Northam’s face mask. We sincerely apologize for the error.

Seems to us that the one who really made the “misjudgment” was Ralph Northam, but whatevs.
