The worst advent calendar ever: Republican candidate Scott Walker reveals 1/9th of new logo

Honestly, it could be anything.

By Media Mole

A tantalizing glimpse into the world of Scott Walker was revealed yesterday on the Republican presidential hopeful’s Instagram.

In a move sure to provide whole days of exciting speculation, Walker shared the first 1/9th of his campaign logo:

Welcome to the first glimpse of the official campaign logo. Over the next 9 days, you’ll get a chance to see the logo one piece at a time and it’s only going to be on Instagram.

What could it be? Is it a plunger? The bottom of a lectern? A very, very small part of the set of Bladerunner? (“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe… 900,000 people signing a petition to recall me as governer.”)

Sometimes this mole gets so wrapped up digging for British stories that it forgets how fun US politics can be.
