That was so overtly clueless I had to double check to make sure that it wasn’t the onion. I also like how he admits that he changes policy based on whether or not someone blatantly flatters him. ---

And they’re quickly finding that a rallying cry of “Hey, look how we’re pwning the libs ha ha ha” makes for more vigorous engagement than “Hey, look how the libs are pwning us boo hoo hoo”. The latter is going to get old fast. ---

Well there are two levels of BS here: 1. The event and tickets are BS and the story of gullible frothing RW people buying any of them are also BS. 2. The event and tickets are BS and the story of gullible frothing RW people buying lots of them is completely true. So far Snopes & we only have evidence for Door #1. But the grift is yet young. One can hope.
