At a town hall at the University of Pennsylvania last Friday, Sen. Arlen Specter (D-PA) surprised students by showing up alongside basketball Hall-of-Famer Earvin “Magic” Johnson.
Johnson and Specter met by chance right before the town hall.
“This young man is a person who really cares about America,” Johnson said. “I only hope to do half as much as he’s done.”
Johnson endorsed Specter and also said he’s a “treasure.”
And Specter’s obviously proud of the endorsement: He just tweeted about it.
