First 30 seconds

There's been a lot of conversation about the DL man. And I'm not talking about Don Lim. I'm talking about down low. But we never really talk about the down low politicians out there like the Mike Johnson's, like the Tim Scott, like Lady Graham, aka Lindsey Graham. Don Lemon makes it a point to say he's going to out all these closeted politicians. And hey, I'm here for it. Let's get into the video y'all.
