@chrishudsonjr Never heard of him before today, and now I've heard of him twice. Is he Twitter's main character today or something?
@LouisIngenthron yeah there were a couple recent exposés about his very racist past in part because he’s recently tried to brand himself as a “reasonable centrist” & has gotten a lot of endorsements from prominent folks in a similar vein. But anyone’s who’s followed him since he started promoting himself years ago will tell you he’s always been incredibly reactionary, but always tried to put a respectable face on it.
