Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins faced online ridicule Tuesday.
During the Minnesota Farmfest, a three-day agricultural trade show and exhibition, Rollins asked the crowd for applause while touting Trump administration support for farmers and the biofuels industry.
"With my boss, President Trump, what he was trying to figure out was if we've got to deliver on our promises," Rollins said.
"We promised a smaller government. We promised to deregulate. We promised tax cuts. We promised to get rid of all the crazy woke."
While discussing President Donald Trump's announcement of record renewable volume obligations, Rollins said, "This spring he announced, I think this may be due for another round of applause, the highest renewable volume obligations, RVOs, in the history of this program."
Journalist Aaron Rupar compared the moment to Jeb Bush's infamous 2016 "please clap" gaffe during his New Hampshire campaign appearance on social media.
College instructor and political commentator Anthony M. Hopper wrote on X, "Where's the laugh track?"
