Paul Ryan tweeted about Harambe's presidential polling numbers
Paul Ryan is the 54th Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives and the first to ever tweet about the polling numbers of a deceased gorilla.
At 10:23 p.m. ET on Monday, Ryan tweeted the fact that -- according to one poll -- 5% of Americans support Harambe, the gorilla who was killed at the Cincinnati zoo, for president. Ryan has since deleted the tweet, but it's screenshotted glory will surely live on in history books for centuries to come. Harambe was killed after a toddler fell into his enclosure in May.

What could Ryan's deleted tweet mean? Does the speaker support Harambe's candidacy? Is the speaker a fan of the blog Barstool Sports? Will an intern be fired? Only time will tell.

Until then, we'd recommend Ryan immediately reverse his decision to delete this Harambe tweet, and return it to its rightful place on his timeline.
Happy 2016 election, everyone.
