As if you needed another reason to vote for him, Libertarian hopeful Vermin Supreme has since switched parties in hopes of landing the nomination. At a recent International Students for Liberty Conference, Mr. Supreme led the crowd in a Hendrix inspired rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner, all entirely on a megaphone.
If you don't know him, Vermin is an iconoclast, gaining a following on all social media platforms for his eccentric tactics and, um, dress. Often parading around with something on his head, this time, Mr. Supreme was adorned in a rubber boot and ill-fitting suit.
In a post on Death and Taxes:
"After asking [the crowd] to join him in 'the theme song of this great nation,' Supreme takes the terrified and elated Libertarian crowd on a journey, leading them into the Valley of Confusion and out again. At times stalking the stage and at others collapsing into an orgasmic heap, Supreme punishes his trusty bullhorn, resulting in a screaming, feedback-fueled rendition of our national anthem that would make Jimi Hendrix himself weep with joy."
There's not much one can do to shock the party this election. Speaking of he-who-shall-not-be-named, Vermin seems like a healthy alternative to what the Republican party is producing.
Representing the "free pony" platform, Mr. Supreme is just a boot-wearing, pony-loving satirist who's trying to shed light on the ridiculousness that has seemed to infiltrate the race for the nomination. In fact, earlier in February, Supreme finished just behind Gov. Martin O'Malley in New Hampshire's Democratic primary election, receiving an incredible 256 votes.
Nonetheless, check out Vermin's colorful rendition of our anthem below.
