The Pink Gorilla in the Room

Jennifer Crider, the deputy executive director of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee,  has been getting all sorts of love on this day, aka her birthday.

Even Republican National Committee Communication Director Sean Spicer tweeted his birthday wishes at Crider, as did Brad Dayspring, deputy chief of staff for House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.).

But nothing says “Happy Birthday” like a pink gorilla telegram, which Crider also received in the middle of the DCCC’s senior staff meeting.

DCCC National Press Secretary Jesse Ferguson tweeted this picture of the birthday girl and her pink gorilla
