What's up with all these washed up celebrities coming back to the spotlight just to make an ass of themselves?
They were always an ass. That's the secret.
Nowdays, we just have more visibility into this shit than we did "back in their day".
Not even necessarily more visibility, go back 20 years and this kind of stuff was popular. Go back another 5 years and anti-gay humour was also still popular. It wasn't even considered anti-gay because anti-gay was the default option, so it would have just been called "gay jokes".
Though it makes me wonder what is considered normal today that will be seen as problematic in a decade and popularly opposed in two.
He's been on this tip for a long while, supporting Ron Paul and being anti-vax. Last Week Tonight did an episode on Vaccines, and he shows up in a no longer valid comparison of RFK Jr on the left, Alex Jones wherever he fits in, and even this guy. I remember him also calling for Ron Paul 2012, but doesn't seem to be from this one, so hopefully I'm remembering that right.
Still, he's been libertarian and antivax for a long time, and those communities have been heavily aimed at by fascists for recruitment.
