“Just gonna throw this one out there,” Deez Nuts said on his campaign’s Facebook page . “This is not for the general election. My endorsement for the Democratic nomination goes to Vermont senator Bernie Sanders.”

He added in another post moments later that he endorses Ohio Gov. John Kasich for the Republican nomination.

Reports emerged Wednesday that Deez Nuts is actually Brady Olson, a 15-year-old from Iowa who registered with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) for a White House run.

A surprising poll taken earlier this week found that in a race with Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump, Deez Nuts garnered 9 percent support in North Carolina.

He expanded Saturday that he is supporting Sanders “because he almost completely agrees with me on social issues and even financial issues,” according to In These Times

“Not really,” he added when questioned on whether his endorsement could tilt the nominating process in Sanders’s favor.
