I hate liberals lag, a bunch of commies its like okay, one, i was just just a part of them. Look, four years ago i was i was in it right. Ive been betrayed by them multiple times. So now im trying my hand, being betrayed by the Promises Departure from the left has taken them down a dark past. Two people like white supremacist, Nick Fuentes, Conspiracy Theorist Alex jones, and Maga Communist jack and henkel. Adam is among the 8 of Bernie Sanders supporters in the 2020 democratic primary, who are now pro trump. And you actually fight in Jackson Henkel impressive. You actually fundamentally, i have to because one is really good looking hes fundamentally a handsome man, right when we first mess, you said thats being american man, being masculine its been kind of equated with toxicity its thats because it is by nature, we are naturally acidic, but we can also Bus Nuts and create more humans or the one woman has a role in that area . We have to make the men thats what my mom would always say. Theres two things she ever wanted to do in her life, be a nurse and have boys. She did both. Thats why she died happy died fulfilled, or this is why it was such a liberal growing up, because my dad would always listened to Rush Limbaugh hes always yellowing. Hes really mad about everything and everythings going to share it. And i was like crying a mom, this is toxic. This is bad. Then i just naturally had an aversion to conservatism. And men and masculinity. And thats why i got called gay for so much. I mean that in the blonde hair, you got called gay . Yeah.

Youre not an Nick Fuentes fan i think that hes a white supremacist. Well, think about it. Hes okay hes a white proponent. Hes an antisemite. Hes right, hes really reasonably he loves Kanye And Alex jones who theyve been trying to nail for god knows how long now we are now absolutely. I am now absolutely. But you dont believe the stuff he said about Sandy Hook kids . If i did, i had to be a difficult question for you to answer. Well, look at the evidence. Lets say that he started to look into it and it turns out obama had those kids murdered on purpose, but he didnt but if they died, thats still a possibility because he was president. But by purpose, i still mean negligence. What about the parents of the children . Right who were hope it isnt what good jones doing is making these tragedies so much worse . No. How do you get worse than Child Death . Ill tell you how by having idiots who watch Alex Jones show up and stop harassing the parents of the children who died in the Sandy Hook shooting. Thats how you make it worse . Adam and i, were going around in circles on this nonsense when my Photographer Andrew weighed in from behind the camera, i just want to say something.
