It's always a bit strange to see right-wing douchebags try to use subversive techniques like this. This is him trying to Borat the situation. But it just looks entitled and guilty. I guess maybe someone should tell him, people like seeing someone speak truth-to-power, not using power to crush truth? Can he tell the difference?

I guess for the next four years we'll see all kinds of people feel emboldened to act their most awful like this.

They should have just asked the questions and let the guy give some stupid answers and pretend like it was Logan who gave the answers leaving the mess to him to clean.

I'm shocked they didn't do this.

That is both so shocking stupid and entirely unsurprising for Logan Paul. More importantly however, this event will absolutely not change the opinion of any LP fan. Just one more cult of personality the rest of society has to collectively deal with.

I truly wish I was joking but decent chance Logan Paul is going to be president someday.

People like Logan Paul?

Logan Paul likes to pretend to have matured as he's gotten older and then you hear crazy stories like that and see that he's the same as he's ever been.
