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.
More than that, he had his lawyers threaten the BBC investigators after they left.
people like seeing someone speak truth-to-power, not using power to crush truth?
Pretty sure it's the other way around, a lot of people much prefer crushing the truth for an agenda. I mean, trump was elected again
When have we seen anyone else do something like this?
Dude looks old enough to be his dad.
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?
He's got 29 million subscribers across two youtube channels, I didn't bother to check other socials. I hate him, but many others clearly don't feel the same.
I thought most people who follow him don't like him but either hatewatch his content or like his content without liking him as a person
That group definitely accounts for a healthy percentage of his viewership, but I doubt that number is above 25%. I don't personally know anyone who hatewatches stuff, seems like a dismal way to spend free time.
Believe me, a lot of people do it! Mostly unemployed people and kids I think.
I watch his stuff very rarely, but usually not to see him. He had xQc on Impaulsive recently I plan on listening to that episode soon.
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.
Wow.
