In a bizarre turn of events, the social media accounts of a deceased congressman have miraculously come back to life to endorse his former chief of staff’s bid for Congress. The late Congressman John Smith, who passed away last year, apparently couldn’t stay away from the political spotlight even in the afterlife.
The accounts, which had been dormant since Smith’s passing, suddenly sprang back to life last week with a series of posts praising his former right-hand man, Tim Johnson. The posts, which included old photos of the two men together and messages of support for Johnson’s campaign, left many scratching their heads and wondering if Smith was pulling some sort of ghostly prank from beyond the grave.
When reached for comment, Johnson seemed unfazed by the supernatural endorsement. “I always knew John had my back, even in the afterlife,” he joked. “I guess you could say he’s still pulling strings from up above.”
However, not everyone is convinced of the authenticity of the posts. Political analyst Jane Doe expressed skepticism, stating, “It’s highly unusual for a deceased individual to suddenly start posting on social media. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was just a publicity stunt to drum up support for Johnson’s campaign.”
Despite the skepticism, Johnson’s campaign has seen a surge in popularity since the resurrection of Smith’s social media accounts. Supporters have flooded the comments section with messages of encouragement and excitement, with one user joking, “Who needs Russian bots when you’ve got a ghost congressman on your side?”
As for Smith, his spirit seems to be enjoying his newfound social media fame. In a post from his Twitter account, he quipped, “Just when you thought you were free from politics in the afterlife… surprise!”
Only time will tell if this otherworldly endorsement will be enough to propel Johnson to victory in the upcoming election. In the meantime, we can all sit back and enjoy the absurdity of a dead congressman’s social media accounts coming back to life for one last hurrah.
