(CNN)John Hickenlooper, the former Democratic governor of Colorado who is running for president, went into great detail on Wednesday evening explaining the time he took his mother to see an X-rated movie at a theater in the 1970s.
The awkward moment started with a question from CNN's Dana Bash during a town hall in Atlanta. She brought up his memoir, in which he talked about seeing a pornographic movie with his mother. Bash then let him have the floor.
The movie, Hickenlooper said, was "Deep Throat" – the X-rated film that turned into a pop culture phenomenon after its release in 1972.
