I totally agree with you on that. He kept a lid on so much stuff that was simmering under the surface. He would have melted down hearing all the Q “conspiracies” and would have called it all nonsense. I really started questioning him when he made fun of the “birthers.” I’ve been working in graphics for decades and I downloaded that birth certificate—it was faker than fake and it only took a couple of clicks to figure it out—and there he was with his golden microphone telling us we were full of it, or even worse, just refusing to talk about it.
Two of my sisters were huge fans. I tried to listen to him. Couldn’t stand it.
