What he got from one caller was a ’90s theme song all about how the caller’s life got flipped, turned upside-down.

The mysterious caller used the name Jack Strickland and called in on the Republican line. His slow reveal is to be applauded. Pure poetry, to be honest.

“Strickland” is actually a notorious C-SPAN troll who uploads his conquests to his YouTube channel. Here he is telling a C-SPAN morning host to fellate him in December.

A true patriot if ever there were one.
