Jeff Sessions got fired, and the jokes are too good

Jeff Sessions was fired, and Twitter users can't hold back on the memes.

In a pair of tweets on Wednesday, Trump announced that Matthew G. Whitaker, Sessions' former chief of staff, is stepping in as acting Attorney General.

"We thank Attorney General Jeff Sessions for his service, and wish him well," Trump tweeted. "A permanent replacement will be nominated at a later date."
