The 600-pound pig who rose to fame after crashing a polling location in Pelham, New Hampshire during last week’s primary isn’t done with his 15 minutes of fame.

The Pelham Pig stole the show at the primary last Tuesday after he wandered away from a local farm and hung around the parking lot. While he didn’t get to cast a vote in the nation’s first primary election, the now-famous pig finally got to voice his political opinions when a Twitter account under his name launched later that day.

Since then, the pig hasn’t said which candidate he would’ve cast his ballot for if he’d been given the chance to vote, but he has come up with a number of pig-related puns. [fragment number=0]
