Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is thankful to those who decided to write in his name for president in Tuesday's presidential election, he tells the Green Bay Press-Gazette.
“I just want to thank all the voters out there who did vote for me,” Rodgers said. “I know for some people it was between me and Harambe. I think I finished second in that vote.”
Harambe was the gorilla that was shot and killed at the Cincinnati zoo after a child fell into its enclosure in May. Harambe has posthumously been celebrated with tributes, t-shirts and has inspired countless social media memes.
