Wrong #MissUniverse crowned last night. For 2 minutes.
Remember when that happened with our President in 2000 & we had to keep him 8 years?

But her divine tweet wasn’t unique. Others sang the same tune.
A week after the anniversary of Bush v. Gore, historian-comedians were all over the supposed parallels.
Fun fact: Steve Harvey counted all the votes in Florida for Gore Vs Bush in 2000

Listen y’all remember what happened when Al Gore went along with a “mistake”,8 years of Bush….Uncle Steve rectified his mistake, GOOD WORK

I do say this, I wish Steve Harvey was around to announce Bush as President in 2000. That way, we would’ve known Gore actually won.

Jeb Bush is probably really hoping they’ll let Steve Harvey announce the new president next year.

Wrong Miss Universe for one minute is not close to the outrage we should have had when Jeb Bush gave the election to the wrong guy in 2000.

Also: Gore and Bush should have been co-presidents https://t.co/BuTqB1gRr5
