Apparently Candidate "Deez Nuts" is a 15-Year-Old Boy From Iowa

The Daily Beast is reporting that independent candidate Deez Nuts, who polled at nine percent in North Carolina, is actually a 15-year-old boy named Brady Olson.

Nuts/Olson was included in the PPP poll after he emailed the polling firm asking to be included in its polls.

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.

Olson was inspired to "run" for president by the campaign of Kentucky cat Limberbutt McCubbins, who is also running for president.

Ah, democracy. Isn't it lovely?
