Luke Bryan Brought Out Governor DeSantis On Stage And Liberals ... (OutKick)

Country musician Luke Bryan brought out Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to his concert. Liberals on social media did not respond kindly.

[guitarist Tom Morello](https://guitar.com/guides/essential-guide/guitar-legends-tom-morello-why-rages-main-man-is-the-master-of-riffs/) is literally one of the greatest guitarists of all time.
