He may be dead but he's an ass wipe in my book.

Well, he spoke the truth about one thing at least:
"My sites were picked up by Trump supporters all the time... His followers don't fact-check anything - they'll post everything, believe anything."
He could have added "...that flatters their out of touch with reality mindset" to the end of that statement to make it completely accurate. But the basic point is valid.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?
