Presidential Candidate Deez Nuts Is Actually A 15 Year Old Kid
Daily Beast – The candidate polling at 9 percent in North Carolina against Trump and Clinton isn’t a real person. But Brady Olson, who gamed the FEC filing system, certainly is. Deez Nuts, the Independent candidate from Iowa, is polling at 9 percent in North Carolina for President of the United States. Sadly, Deez Nuts does not appear to exist. But Brady Olson does. “When I heard about the Limberbutt McCubbins story, I realized I could,” Olson tells The Daily Beast. Brady Olson is 15 years old. He filed to run for the President of the United States with the FEC on July 26 as Deez Nuts. According to a Federal Election Commission filing, the Deez Nuts running for president lives at 2248 450th Avenue in Wallingford, Iowa. The problem, however, is that there is no Deez Nuts who lives in Wallingford, Iowa—a tiny town of 197 people—according to the Emmet County recorder’s office. “Seriously?” Emmet County recorder’s assistant Jill White asked when The Daily Beast mentioned there was a federally registered presidential candidate by the name of “Deez Nuts”—and that a reporter was requesting information on a resident by that name. There’s only Brady Olson, the son of a farmer and a dental assistant, and a rising sophomore at the Graettinger Terril Ruthven Ayrshire Community School in rural Iowa. Now he’s trying to figure out his path to becoming the first 15-year-old President of the United States under an assumed name. “The next step is to get some party nominations, like the Minnesota Independence Party or the Modern Whig Party,” Olson says. “It would also be great to find a VP, preferably McCubbins because the Nuts/McCubbins ticket sounds amazing.” So how did Brady Olson go from standard Iowa high school student to the No. 1 trending topic on Twitter—literally overnight? “It started because somebody emailed us under the name Deez Nuts,” says Jim Williams, an issue polling specialist a Public Policy Polling. “He said, ‘I’m Deez Nuts. I’m running. Here’s my filing statement. Would you poll me?’” Williams thought “this is something Public Policy Polling would do,” so he squared Nuts off against Trump and Clinton in Minnesota a few weeks ago. He polled at 7 percent. “I thought, ‘Let’s put this out. This’ll be funny,’” he says, and it was met with “mild interest.” But when his numbers rose after two more polls—8 percent in Iowa, then 9 percent in North Carolina—Nuts took off. On Wednesday, Deez Nuts was trending worldwide on Twitter.
I, for one, back this kid. Because he knows what puts asses in the seats. Just like Trump standing up there cracking jokes and being brutally honest and talking about how his money talks. People love when Trump does all that stuff because its honest and real. They like it. And you know what else people like?
DEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ NUTTTTSSSSSSS
Seriously a well placed Deez Nuts is never not funny. Its right up there with doing an Asian accent where you mix up your Rs and your Ls. Its right up there with a well timed fart. You drop Deez Nuts at the right time and its a crowd pleaser 100% of the time. And do you know what the exact, ultimate, perfect time for a Deez Nuts reference is? Standing in front of the Capitol Building being inaugurated as POTUS. Can you imagine a 15 year old stepping to the mic at the podium and being like “I, DEEEEZ NUTTTSS, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic” It would tear the house down. Tear the country down. Would be top 5 moment in American History. Throw out the rules. Forget that he’s under 35. Forget that he’s using a name referencing his nutsack. Do it for the story, America. Do it for the laughs. Thats what this country is all about.
