In what is either a move of bold political defiance or the actions of a boy who really, really needs a clean shirt, area college student Paul Tweten announced this morning that he would wear his shirt promoting Bernie Sanders every single day until the democratic establishment calls off its attack or his mom sends him some clean clothes.
"I will not back down on this," said Tweten, a Carleton freshman who has both enormous respect for the Vermont politician and a desperate need for more than one non-stained shirt. "The democratic establishment, and with it publications like The New York Times, have been bashing Bernie Sanders with everything they've got just because he tells it like it is and is looking for real change! I vow, until the democrat status-quo big wigs stop the attacks and apologize for their comments, or my mom mails me those shirts I sent her to wash a few weeks ago, that I will wear my Bernie Sanders shirt day-in-day-out!"
The shirt, which Tweten has been wearing day and night for forty eight hours, has been called by Tweten's peers both, "a symbol of defiance towards the liberal powers that be, who care more about the bottom line than about the working man," and, "really, really smelly."
Tweten, who, at press time, had not backed down on his firm stance, received clean clothes from his mother, or learned how to operate a washing machine on campus, called the fact that he was kicked out of World War Two History class due to body odor, "Simply a cost of my martyrdom, or maybe a sign that I need to buy a new shirt from the bookstore or something."
