Hey isn’t that . . . Denzel Washington on Capitol Hill on Tuesday?
Reporters, Hill staffers and politicians such as Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) could not help but fangirl a bit over their run-ins with the megastar.
Denzel Washington is in the Capitol and it’s safe to say that reporters (who are used to chit chatting with some of the most powerful people in the country) were way, way more starstruck by Denzel.
