So … that happened.
Former Democratic Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe posted a meme to Twitter on Thursday that displayed a crab (labeled TERRY MCAULIFFE) standing triumphantly on the head of a white alligator (labeled DONALD TRUMP) with its claws wide with pride.

While there was speculation in the ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ newsroom that this might have been some bizarre way of announcing his 2020 presidential candidacy, comments and reactions online to the meme were significantly more mixed.
And rife with confusion.

In an hour-later tweet, McAuliffe sorta kinda tried to qualify/explain the victory crab (who henceforth shall be referred to as Mr. Snips) by tying it to his younger days, when he allegedly wrestled an “8 ft, 280 lb” gator.
If I could wrestle an 8 ft, 280 lb 🐊, I certainly would have no problem with you know who.

Users didn’t seem terribly impressed with the follow-up.

McAuliffe might need to step up his meme game.
