SO not qualified in any intelligent way to grift, this one.
Firstly - you go on CNN and have your ass handed to you in a softball interview with Anderson Cooper. Managing not only to make your cause sound facile and pointless, but confirming that you really aren’t even sure you believe in what you’re claiming by contradicting yourself with every question. All you know is “military service = I was lied to = all muslims are evil = we must have a heavily armed protest in front of a house of worship to show dem who’s boss”
Second - you get your face plastered all over the news acting like a supreme leader of the KKK with your can’t-make-it-in-military pals dressed in their cosplay best interpretation of a military action, spouting total nonsense and further ensuring sympathy for those you are terrorizing…AND having some of your own people cross the lines and worship WITH the people you are terrorizing, making you look like an even bigger assclown.
Third - within hours you go online “claiming” your family has been threatened (without providing a stich of actual proof - at least the pizza parlor bigot we had video of people protesting and threatening) and that you need $10M because you have to sell your house and move for safety reasons (uh, because you’re not going to make anything on the house sale, or qualify for another home loan?)
…oh, but wait…pushback and ridicule points out to you that seems like a big sum to ask for people to pay just so you can move, so you’ll just casually throw out there that you also need it to run against a sitting incumbent senator from your state (who probably has at least that much in his personal bank account, nevermind his election campaign coffers).
Fourth - you never once put two and two together that people are going to see this as an immediate con, and start whining and playing a victim card, followed by a word salad about holes.
This guy makes Joe the Plumber look like a MENSA member.
