all i can say is, if he was pushing the agenda for "the other team", and never wore that "red hat", he would be celebrated all day, all the time, by the media outlets and celebs, that currently have cast him out .. is he "out there" ? yup... But were it as i just said, they would find a way to have him on a pedestal, no matter what outlandish stuff he says ..
It amazes me how people will ignore serious character flaws if it fits their agenda. 1933 all over again.
