Pokimane responds to viral post claiming she\u2019s Mexico\u2019s new President Pokimane \/ InstagramA fake Twitter post has gone viral claiming that Twitch and YouTube star Pokimane has swapped her career as a content creator for the most powerful political post in Mexico \u2013 and she couldn\u2019t help but respond. Mexico\u2019s sitting President, Andr\u00e9s Manuel L\u00f3pez Obrador, has not yet responded publicly to the reports that Pokimane has taken office in his country. However, he may be confused if he\u2019s to scroll Twitter, because there is a really weird rumor going viral \u2013 a Twitch streamer is not just after his job, she\u2019s taken it! Pokimane next Mexico President? Viral tweet debunked It doesn\u2019t take a genius to know the answer \u2013 No, Twitch star Pokimane is not going to be the next President of Mexico. However, over 35,000 people have been getting behind a post that claims she is. By its own definition, the account can typically be seen posting about \u201cwacky things\u201d related to popular personalities, from Spongebob to Super Mario. Apparently, Poki falls into that category. On March 23, a tweet from Anything Bot went viral, saying: \u201cPokimane has become President of Mexico.\u201d Pokimane has become President of Mexico! pic.twitter.com\/UBidiX1Ayg \u2014 Anything Bot (@anythingbott) March 24, 2022 Not that she\u2019s going to become President, or standing in an election to take the country\u2019s most powerful political post, but that she\u2019s taken up office overnight. Imagine! The comment was so wild that the content creator herself had to get involved. Though, her reply didn\u2019t exactly rule it out. Carrying on the joke, she said: \u201cGracias,\u201d or \u2018thank you\u2019 (for non-Spanish speakers). In just a few seconds, a bot account called \u2018Explaining Pokimane\u2019 followed up with an apparent explanation of what she was saying. It said: \u201cPoki is saying \u201cthank you\u201d as she has been appointed as president of Mexico.\u201d Poki est\u00e1 diciendo \u201cgracias\u201d ya que ha sido nombrada como presidenta de M\u00e9xico \u2014 Explaining Pokimane (@ExplainingPoki) March 24, 2022 While some of her fans across Latin America might like to see her take on a Presidential role in Mexico, even if it was a joke for a day, it\u2019s never going to happen. She did play along though, and it\u2019s probably the weirdest story you\u2019ll read all week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
