The rapper-turned-actor Ludacris, aka Chris Bridges, might want to ‘l-l-l-lick you’ but, rest assured, he doesn’t want to run for President. Bridges nipped that campaign rumor in the bud before Politico had a chance to get it off the ground while speaking to the National Press Club in Washington D.C. yesterday afternoon.

Ailes quickly laughed off the claim with a quote from an aide.
