Think we’ve all had enough of the “Shit ___ Say” meme? Maybe a political angle will convince you to give it one more try.
AmericansElect.org released “Sh*t Politicians Say” on Thursday, featuring a generically silver-haired stumper who loves America, children, jobs, and his seven-point plan. Which candidate is he parodying? All of them at once, it seems.
With the slogan “Pick a President, Not a Party,” Americans Elect hope to pick a third presidential candidate through an online primary in hopes of finding an alternative to the Republican and Democratic candidates. To do so, the nonprofit is working to get an Americans Elect candidate on every state’s ballot in November. So far they have gained ballot access in 15 states.
Although the group has posted dozens of videos before, none have seemed to take off like “Sh*t Politicians Say.” (As of Thursday evening, YouTube reported it had only been seen 301 times, almost certainly the sign of a known glitch which caps the number of views when a video starts to take off.)
The best part of the video may be when the actor, sitting in the back of a limo and sporting a ten-gallon hat, asks, “Is this a cowboy hat state?” Check it out.
“His facial expressions for ‘That’s a tough question, it’s a good one—but it’s tough’ [are] amazing,” wrote DeejayForte in a comment.
