Pants on fire? Looks like Fla. Dem gubernatorial hopeful Andrew Gillum has got some 'splaining to do; UPDATED

Uh-oh … looks like Florida Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Andrew Gillum may be guilty of an ethics violation.

Oh, my.

There’s a moral to this story. Besides “don’t engage in shady transactions that could come back to bite you,” we mean:

The lesson, as always, is that no one should go to HAMILTON or any musical theater ever. https://t.co/lTXjtwFsHP

True story.

Gillum not only lied about this on multiple occasion, he implied that the question was racist. https://t.co/ItN22HPOUQ
