The Youth International Party designated Pigasus as their choice of candidate for U.S. President on this date. The boar hog was introduced at a press conference outside the Chicago Civic Center, with the slogan “They nominate a President and he eats the people. We nominate a President and the people eat him.“
The gathering is broken up shortly thereafter when the Chicago PD took into custody the Yippie organizers and their pig.
