I think he may be a diagnosis, or some kind of syndrome.

What is his claim to fame that got him hired by MSNBC?

My first guess would be that he and that Ronan Farrow freak are dating.

I believe “Toure” gets his name from Sekou Toure, the first president of Senegal after they gained independence from France in the early 60s.
