Is he lazy? Did he actually interview Kessler?
I don't know. But when someone with a huge platform continues, over and over again to make simple mistakes...
(and, lets face it his campaign contribution cheating was a simple mistake, which led to his felony conviction, overturned by Trump's presidential pardon. It probably was an unfair prosecution, but it was also a obviously completely unforced error and lapse of basic ethical behavior)..
has he learned nothing from this?
Or is he a glib hustler, who doesn't really care about the truth as much about making a splash and feeding his audiences half-truths that they might enjoy.
Sadly, my own view of him has soured considerably over the years and I no longer value or really trust his opinions, I find that very often he's playing fast and loose with the facts, or is torturing history and logic for his own reasons.
He is not a reliable guild for true conservatives, who have always placed a very high value on truth and fairness.
So, I don't believe he knows anything about him, has done any research on the topic, yet is writing about him as if he is familiar with the topic.
I don't believe he is, he's just a cheap echo chamber for Dinish D'Souza.
