Social Chael Sonnen: "I'm gonna run for governor of OR"

[Eusung]

He says he will run for governor eventually.

He hasn't talked about his politics in a long time - it seemed like he had political ambitions when he was younger but lost interest when his MMA career took off.

Last I remember him talking politics was with Rogan in 2016 when he was supporting Trump.

Time stamped:

Isn’t he a convicted felon?

Edit: Guilty of federal money laundering. I would have thought that would disallow someone to serve in public office

 

[panem-et-circenses]

Successful or not his campaign has to end with Jeremy Horn submitting him

I find that interviewer very annoying for some reason.

 

[Edmond_Dantes]

Good for him. can't be much worse than the leadership they have now.

 

[koquerelle]

He's a crook and an actor. He'll fit right in.

I find that interviewer very annoying for some reason.

Because he can't talk like a normal human being?

On the plus side he is funny, when he talks about Tito.

I assure you that voting in a complete noob can always have the potential to do a lot worse than current leadership lol.

It definitely should. We have issues with our senators taking bribes from lobbyist and big pharma.

I find that interviewer very annoying for some reason.

It's because he tries too hard to sound cool and funny.

is oregon a cool state?

 

[DragRacer]

Whatever Democrat runs against him should put him in a triangle choke.

 

[Karl_Hungus]

Look, the guy is from the mean streets of West Linn. He's paid his dues and overcome adversity. He just wants to give back to his community, and you guys are goofing on him. Sad!

Tito is funnier when he talks about Tito.

Yea, he was running for something else I think and it was around the same time that came up. I think that put his political career to rest but maybe he saw Santos and thought the voters are dumb and/ or terrible so it might still work. Tbf, I don’t think Santos will win re-election now that the info has come out about him.
