'Not Funny!' Liz Truss Storms Off Stage As Lettuce Stunt Crashes Her 'Pro-Trump' Event
HuffPost
The ex-prime minister could not leaf fast enough.
Former U.K. Prime Minister Liz Truss fell victim to yet another lettuce-related stunt on Tuesday night while hosting a pro-Donald Trump speaking event in Suffolk, England.
Truss was explaining to the crowd why she backed the former U.S. president and Republican candidate for re-election — and why Americans were struggling with the economy — when she was rudely interrupted.
But Truss seemed completely oblivious as a banner depicting a lettuce (with goggly eyes) slowly unfurled from the ceiling behind her.

And, presumably by pure luck, she happened to be wearing a green, leaf-y colored dress.
