Idk what is most surprising here:

he hasn't gotten it covered (apparently had since 2006)
this made it through the pod save edit to be shown on their video
pod save had him on

Wonder what the excuses will be this time on why it's okay he's still in the race as if he wins probably will be another fetterman.

Or maybe I'm so conspiracy brained I wonder if this is a way to make the ancient governor running look like the best candidate

Ya I remember telling a friend I don't know anything about this guy but from what I had seen so far, he was pretty based before. Now I'm pretty embarrassed, but oh well, you've got to adjust with new information. All I remember seeing on here was posts of his leaked reddit comments saying capitalism needs to be torn down, the shit the US is doing abroad is bad, the military radicalized him, things like that.

I didn't know he was a Blackwater mercenary who had reenlisted multiple times, doesn't regret it and says everything he did was good, and he has a Nazi tattoo. Obviously, thats some different context lol.
