WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Borowitz Report)—Organizers of a massive Inauguration protest announced on Saturday that they intend to surround the White House on January 20th in order to prevent President Barack Obama from leaving.

According to Harland Dorrinson, the organizer of the protest, after the plans for the demonstration were announced, between eighty and ninety million Americans expressed an initial interest in participating.

“People really seem to like this idea,” he said.

He acknowledged that people were still planning to petition the Electoral College, but added, “This idea has a much better shot at success."

As of late Saturday, the plans for the protest had drawn ridicule from Kellyanne Conway, a trusted Trump adviser. “Honestly, we have way bigger things to be concerned about leading up to the Inauguration, like finding entertainers willing to perform at it.”
