He actually worked on behalf of Herman Cain in 2012, and defended him as an attorney, so your assumption that he was on Obama’s side is pretty ridiculous.
He IS and independent but he did vote for Nixon, Ford, Bushes, Reagan and Trump twice. If he voted for third party when McCain and Romney are running, maybe he realized they were no different than dems.
I was going by the Breitbart report. I've actually never looked into Wood's past. However, according to many sources it is on record that he donated money to Obama in 2008 and other Dems prior and/or since. All I know about him, other than that, is that he comes across as a bit of a kook.
Recall the phony, sudden 'convert', who led the so-called "Unite The Right" rally in Charlottesville, Jason Kessler, was actually a huge fan of Obama and John Kerry, according to his own fairly recent postings on Twitter and/or Facebook, and elsewhere. That plus having various left-wing positions. His goal with the bogus rally, IMO, was to create chaos and undermine the legit right, to basically start a civil war, or at least launch us on a path to one.
