Whoever wrote this tweet about Ralph Northam for NBC Washington deserves a raise:

In a striking moment, Gov. Ralph Northam put on his own black face mask. He urged every Virginian to do the same https://t.co/3TrctrOJN5 pic.twitter.com/Xblriihbpp — NBCWashington (@nbcwashington) April 6, 2020

The tweet was sadly deleted for some reason. But don’t worry — we’ve got it:

RIP us, because we’re dead.

I give you the worst (or best?) worded tweet of the year. pic.twitter.com/9zYi0Iahka — neontaster (@neontaster) April 6, 2020

And it gets better still:

Upon closer examination, the governor's face mask appears to be dark green. https://t.co/6zXqRmYVOY — NBCWashington (@nbcwashington) April 6, 2020

That one’s gone, too:

Why are you deleting these awesome tweets, NBC Washington?

We have so little these days to laugh about. Don’t take this away from us, NBC Washington.

Update:

Assuming they don’t delete this one, too, here’s NBC Washington’s explanation for the deleted tweets about Ralph Northam:

Correction: We made a misjudgment in a tweet about Gov. Northam’s face mask. We sincerely apologize for the error. — NBCWashington (@nbcwashington) April 6, 2020

Seems to us that the one who really made the “misjudgment” was Ralph Northam, but whatevs.
