Vermin Supreme Again Seeks Presidency
By Bob Small
Who and Why is Vermin Supreme?
Following the 2024 Lesser-Known Candidate Debate, one comes across a Vermin Supreme.
Why hadn’t one heard of him before, especially since he is in his ninth election for President, albeit never for a major Party. He is an intentionally “satirical Candidate.” But didn’t someone else run nine times for President, and wasn’t Harold Stassen elected three times as governor of Minnesota, and wasn’t he almost the Presidential Candidate in 1948, where he might have taken on Harry S. Truman?
The last election Harold Stassen ran in was 1992, as was the first year Vermin Supreme ran, in a case of almost-synchronicity.
Supreme is known for a lot of issues but is best known for his 2017 “right to pony” demonstration in front of a bookstore which was promoting the Hillary Clinton tome What Happened
This aligns with his campaign promises of “a free pony for every American”. In 2016 he accused Chris Christie of “hating ponies”. He has been documented in the 2014 documentary Who is Vermin Supreme, An Outsider Odyssey”. Who Is Vermin Supreme? An Outsider Odyssey (2014) and included in five other films.
On a more serious note, in 2006 he donated one of his kidneys to his mother, suffering from renal failure. Born in Massachusetts, he began his career as an anti-nuke activist. He was initially a booking agent for underground music clubs, after dropping out of the Maryland Institute of Art.
Vermin Supreme sometimes wears an overturned boot on his head, among other outre outfits.
Regarding his alias he says “Let me point out that all politicians are, in fact, vermin. I am the Vermin Supreme, therefore I am without question, the most qualified candidate in this race, at this time.” … “Of course as a politician, I shall lie to you, because I am a politician, and I have no reason not to.”
He has a clear understanding of the first amendment; Introducing the next president of the universe, Vermin …
“But my take on it is the first amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees us the right to peaceably assemble and use our free speech to petition our government for the redress of our grievances.”
