Washington D.C. – In a shocking turn of events, President Joe Biden’s visit to the National Park System took an unexpected turn yesterday when he got lost in the wilderness and reportedly met a legendary creature known as Bigfoot – a registered Libertarian.
According to eyewitnesses, Biden and his entourage were on a hike through the forested trails of Yellowstone National Park when they became separated from their guide as he started to talk to the trees about voting Democrat. The group, consisting of several Secret Service agents and park rangers, searched for hours but couldn’t find the President’s party.
As night began to fall, a group of park rangers stumbled upon a disheveled Biden sitting on a rock, surrounded by a eerie silence and the smell of excrement.
“I was starting to get worried, sir,” said one of the rangers, who wished to remain anonymous. “But then I saw him – this giant, hairy creature standing behind you. It was huge! I mean, I’ve seen some big animals in my time, but this was something else. I mean have you ever dated an Italian? Yah, fur like that..”
Biden, who has been known for his love of outdoor adventures, reportedly laughed off the encounter and said, “Oh, that’s just Sasquatch! I’ve always wanted to meet him.”
According to eyewitnesses, the creature, estimated to be around 10 feet tall and covered in thick fur, approached Biden and began to communicate with him using a series of grunts, body language and sign language.
“It was like they were old friends or something,” said another ranger. “The President was laughing like a child and chatting with this… thing. I couldn’t believe my eyes.”
The encounter reportedly lasted for several hours, during which time Biden learned about Bigfoot’s favorite foods (berries and honey), its favorite activities (sex with deer, hiking and fishing), and its views on the current state of politics – we’re fucked.
When asked about the meeting during a press conference earlier today, Biden smiled mischievously and said, “Let’s just say I made some new friends out there. And I learned that even in the most remote parts of our country, there’s still a lot of wonder and magic waiting to be discovered and best part is they vote.”
The White House has yet to confirm the details of the encounter, but officials have released a statement saying that the President is “safe and sound” and that no further action will be taken regarding the incident, while also announcing a partnership with Jack’s Link Jerky for conservation of forests.
In related news, the National Park System has announced plans to increase funding for Bigfoot research initiatives in order to better understand and protect this mysterious voting creature.
