Millennials have become obsessed with two things in 2016: voting for a third party candidate and Harambe. So what’s better than combining the two?
Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein tweeted on Sunday that it was the three month anniversary of the Harambe’s death, and it should become a call to defend the defenseless and voiceless members of society.
Relax, that does not include unborn fetuses peacefully sleeping in their mother’s womb.
The killing of Harambe 3 months ago today reminds us to be a voice for the voiceless. https://t.co/wMZpWlLicY pic.twitter.com/8WtlDhRlIy

“The killing of Harambe at the Cincinnati Zoo highlights the need to adopt stronger legal protections for the rights of animals,” Stein said in her statement on her website, slamming the decision by the zoo the kill the gorilla.
“Non human primates should have the legal right to live freely,” Stein said.
It’s no wonder why Stein began to discuss the beloved gorilla that have captured millennials hearts and minds. Several recent polls have shown her numbers among young voters have begun to dip in favor of Libertarian Gary Johnson.
Now, if only she had tweeted the millennial favorite “D**** out for Harambe,” that could have been a game-changer.
