This man helped on Obama’s presidential campaigns and served as an “advisor” for Obama. That’s it.
He’s a fucking moron and literally no one listens to him. From Wikipedia:
When details of the 2010 United States foreclosure crisis were publicized in 2010, notably robo-signing, Axelrod was widely criticized for downplaying the magnitude of the crisis in his comments to the press
In 2018, Axelrod vocally opposed Democratic support for impeachment, arguing that if "we “normalize” impeachment as a political tool, it will be another hammer blow to our democracy".
I would argue that everyone has been ignoring him for years.
