          His history is really interesting. He wasn’t always a raging republican. He realized it worked and got views though, so here we are. I’d highly reccommend watching Some More News’ video on the guy, it’s interesting and kinda funny in all of the depressing ways.

            A lot of these extreme “center” (ahem) media personalities are simply doing it for views. Boggles my noggin.
