In a tearful 22-second clip, 4-year-old Abigael Evans expressed what many are feeling towards the presidential election this upcoming Tuesday.
The video, which was shot by mom Elizabeth Evans, shows little Abigael sobbing as she complains that she's tired of hearing about "Bronco Bamma and Mitt Romney." The emotional reaction came about after hearing an election piece on NPR, TIME reported.
According to ABC News, Evans said her family does not normally listen to or watch news pertaining to the election. "We don't watch TV or anything in our house, so even just listening to radio and hearing people talk about politics was all she could handle," Evans told ABC News.
The 27-year-old mom added, "She always says that Obama is the president and that Mitt Romney is a bad guy who just wants to be president."
The short clip, which has gone viral on YouTube with over seven million views, elicited an apology from the news organization. In one of its blogs, NPR wrote to Abigael to apologize.
"On behalf of NPR and all other news outlets, we apologize to Abigael and all the many others who probably feel like her. We must confess, the campaign's gone on long enough for us, too. Let's just keep telling ourselves: "Only a few more days, only a few more days, only a few more days."
TIME also reported that local NPR affiliate KUNC also sent reporter Grace Hood to talk to the little girl, giving her an NPR pin to cheer her up.
Just three days after being posted, more than 7.1 million viewers on YouTube have seen the video. The video has gotten more than 22K likes and close to seven thousand comments.
