PPB News: Rally incident Causes concern over Popeye Jr's election

Greetings, this is Lester Ridley of PPB news today with a special news report. Today, Popeye Jr. was holding a rally for the upcoming chancellor seat of the Thacktrian Republic. What seemed like your usual political rally turned bizarre as in the middle of the rally, while he was speaking, Popeye Jr. would suddenly "freeze" in place. This caused speculation among rally goers that he may have potentially died mid-speech. Others have noticed that Popeye Jr. suddenly went cross-eyed, began to drool, and his white pants he was wearing became "brown". After ten minutes of his "freeze", Popeye Jr. would resume his speech as if nothing has happened.
"It was fucking weird." said one witness. "Do you know how in video games when you pause the game in the middle of a cutscene? It was like that but with more drool and a lot more stink."
When Popeye Jr. was asking questions at the rally, a rally-goer asked what happened. Popeye Jr. would suddenly flip out at the question, constantly proclaiming he was wearing white pants, and ordered Indigo Syndicate soldiers to drag him away from the rally. Four hours later the rally goer was found dead with seven bullets to the head and eight knives to the back. Authorities declared the death as a "suicide".
This incident has caused some people to be concerned over Popeye Jr's viability as a Republic chancellor. This isn't the first time a "freeze" happened to him. There was an incident months ago when Popeye Jr. froze mid run and like usual, went cross-eyed and his pants became "brown". Reports stated that Big Earl of the Indigo Syndicate had to drag him away.
Thacktrian Republic airings of the rally were found to be edited. They would reduce the freeze from 10 minutes to five seconds. You can easily tell it was edited when his pants suddenly changed color.
Despite these concerns over his intelligence and health, Thacktrian Republic polls still list Popeye Jr. as the frontrunner of the election, much to the concern and confusion of some.
