John Hickenlooper Watched X-Rated Film With Mother for the Sweetest Reason
During the Presidential Town Hall on CNN, former Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper shared the heartwarming story about why he took his mother to see the 1970s adult film classic, 'Deep Throat.'
We all know the feeling of watching a movie with our parents, and then the sexy scene comes on and it gets a little weird — now, imagine that being an X-rated film.
OK, actually don't imagine that — ew — starting over now.
Former Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper (D) recently announced his 2020 presidential campaign, and with that, some of the content of his 2016 memoir, The Opposite of Woe: My Life in Beer and Politics, was brought up during CNN's Presidential Town Hall Q&A.
Hickenlooper explains the, um, uncomfortable story with a great sense of humor, and you know, as twisted as this may sound, the story is actually kind of... sweet?
