WACO, TX - Former President Potato held a rally at the infamous site of the Waco siege, stunning many who wondered why the spud would choose such a location to spread his message. But as the event unfolded, it became clear that Potato had no shame in using a tragedy to further his own agenda.
As Potato took the stage, he launched into a diatribe that was rife with lies and half-truths. He claimed that the government was out to get him and his supporters, and that they would stop at nothing to silence his voice.
"We're living in dangerous times, my fellow tater tots," he declared to a crowd of a few dozen supporters. "The deep state is trying to silence us and take away our freedom. But we won't let them!"
But as Potato rambled on, it was clear that many in the audience were growing restless. Some were spotted checking their watches or looking for the nearest exit, while others were outright booing and heckling Potato.
"He's just spouting nonsense," said one attendee, who wished to remain anonymous. "It's like he doesn't even care about the people who died here."
Indeed, the choice to hold the rally at Waco, a site where dozens of innocent people lost their lives, struck many as tone-deaf and insensitive. But for Potato, it was just another opportunity to grab headlines and spout his own brand of misinformation.
As the rally wrapped up, Potato seemed unfazed by the lukewarm reception he received. He declared the event a success, and promised to keep fighting for his cause, no matter the cost.
"We're not backing down," he declared. "Not now, not ever!"
