On March 9, House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) clipped a microphone to his tie, rolled up his sleeves and busted out a PowerPoint presentation at his weekly news conference in Washington, D.C. The subject of his TED Talk-style presser was GOP leadership’s plan to repeal and replace Obamacare.
Yet with a large screen at their disposal, Twitter users quickly developed a completely new plan — to jazz up Ryan’s presentation with their own Photoshop magic.
