How about this guy just being plain crazy, as in mentally ill?
He should just claim that he’s a recovering Democrat who had a “come to Jesus” moment but didn’t handle it very well.
What passes as “news” these days, used to be relegated to police blotters and “newspapers” kept behind the counter at certain stores or gas stations.
I could have lived the rest of my life perfectly well, without hearing about this unfortunate disturbed person deprecating while handcuffed.
