Before the talk, Alice Hartshorn, 21, an exchange student from England spending a year at UW-Madison, called Johnson “a bit of a British icon” who “brings charisma to politics.”
People know “his brand,” she said, adding that when people hear her accent, they’ll ask her what she thinks of his wild, unkempt hair and his jokes.
Hartshorn’s boyfriend Dylan Field, 22, a history major, said, “He’s a pretty divisive figure. And I think anytime you get the chance to see a (former) head of state speak at your school, you take it.”
