Ranvir also shared a series of messages he received on Tuesday from a person who seemingly belonged to Congress. In a separate tweet, Ranvir wrote, "Original tweet has been deleted due to inappropriate language used by me for the caption. Apologies if the use of that hurt anyone. The meme will be reposted with a new caption."
Please note: I didn’t delete this original tweet under pressure from anyone other than myself. I felt I made a poor choice by using a certain term in the original caption, which was really not required. ✌🏽
