That you do a lot more digging on him before disparaging him like that. He is a dyed in the wool Democrat and veteran that has been on the streets fighting ICE from the very beginning. They literally camped out in front of Union station in DC from the moment Mango Mussolini deployed troops there.
He is in his car for this video because he is currently in Minneapolis helping people impacted by ICE raids.
He is the leader of a massive group of veterans that go wherever they are needed to help cities being impacted by ICE.
