He has to say that publicly. Of course, he is probably delusional enough in his bubble to believe it.

This guy may be feeling a bit wan, at his prospects, since he has now been linked to the earlier murder of another girl down at UVA, and wanted in connection with the one who went missing a month or so ago. Would be good if he could be tied to ALL of the missing girls in that area, bc there have been a number of them in the past few years.

one of the only areas he is sane, is on the muslim threat and being UNpc, since he was accused of it himself. His reaction on Oreilly to Melissa Harris Perry’s ludicrous assertion of workplace violence with respect to the OK beheading, was the same as your’s or mine.

That was great! Very clever young people using good descriptions. My favorite lines were “white people food” and “everything is condensed”
