While the country continues to be divided over economic, social, and political ideology, one local MC is offering an alternative: his greezy-self.

Macon McChicken, a hip hop sensation born out of James River-run off and bong water, announced his intention to run for President in 2016 today in a video (seen below) released on youtube.

“People love the idea of an invincible hero, unfortunately, the Man of Steel doesn’t exists,” said McChicken behind a podium, announcing his bid for office. “However, there exists a nobel, self-sacrificing savior, a man named Jesus Christ.”

McChicken then proceeded to rub cooking oil all over his face.

“I promise you, American people, when you vote for McChicken 2016, our grease fields will be restored!”

Check out the video announcement below:

McChicken will hold his first rally for support on March 16th, 7:30 PM, at Triple Crossing Brewing Company – 113 S Foushee St, Richmond, VA.

Check out a statement released along with the video below:

Many people are tired with the lack of grease that our government has allowed…. when I was a child, you could go to the grease pool and take a dip during the summer time… you could expect the grease mailman to come to your house everyday, delivering fresh, hot grease… you could go to church and the greasiness of the good lord would flow over you like a blanket…. But now our grease fields are depleted! They’re being stolen by the Chinese and Mexican governments, and I promise if you elect MC CHICKEN 2016 there will be grease for all American citizens.
