Tom Steyer Vanishes after Heckler in Audience Yells “Skip Ad!”

During a recent campaign rally in Des Moines, IA, Democratic presidential candidate Tom Steyer vanished after a heckler in the audience yelled “Skip ad” just six seconds into Mr. Steyer’s prepared remarks.

“It was totally insane,” said Steyer supporter Mark Templeton. “One second, Tom was hammering home his point that Donald Trump is both a fraud and a failure, and the next second, poof! He was gone.”

According to eyewitnesses, pandemonium broke loose once Mr. Steyer disappeared from the stage and presumably ceased to exist entirely. “At first, I thought this was either a cool publicity stunt or, rather, that I just imagined it,” claimed rally attendee Karol Pearl. “But when a completely unrelated video started to auto-play on the screen behind Mr. Steyer’s podium, I realized that Tom wasn’t coming back.” Other rally-goers claimed to have never seen Mr. Steyer at the rally at all, speculating that it was likely due to their use of “ad blocker” programs.

At press time, the heckler, who seemingly removed Mr. Steyer from this dimension, had been detained by local officials. He will remain in police custody until the FBI determines whether or not this qualifies as a political assassination and/or terrorist activity.
