Wikipedia editors waiting to change Mitch McConnell's entry from 'is' to 'was'

Wikipedia editors waiting to change Mitch McConnell's entry from 'is' to 'was.'

This is an image macro meme. The top text reads 'Wikipedia editors waiting to change Mitch McConnell's entry from 'is' to 'was.' Below the text is a still shot of a wide-eyed cymbal-banging monkey toy (Jolly Chimp), a common reaction image used to convey eerie, patient anticipation of an inevitable event. The joke references the widely observed trend of Wikipedia editors updating the entries of public figures extremely quickly following news of their death, applied to long-serving US Senator Mitch McConnell, who has had multiple widely publicized public health scares that sparked conversations about his health and mortality.

This meme was sourced from an RSS feed of the Reddit:Meme subreddit, where it was originally posted with the title 'The Grim Reaper comes for the Grim Reaper' — a secondary joke referencing Mitch McConnell's common nickname 'The Grim Reaper of the Senate' for his history of blocking large amounts of proposed legislation. The meme uses the widely circulated 'waiting cymbal monkey' template, with text added via an image editor, likely using the Imgflip platform as evidenced by the watermark in the bottom left corner.
