3. What a moron! Those victims lost everything in an instant

This idiot just doesn't get it. Talk to a victim - 2 years, 10 years, or more later and they will still say the same thing.

6. After hearing a couple of interviews with him on talk shows...

I could tell he was a right-winger. I did think he was funny at times. I've lost respect for him at this point.

7. He thought he was leading the #theyredone movement

8. Imagine....

if Jimmy Fallon had the cojones to have him ON his show and actually challenge McDonald?

Yeah, I can't imagine it either.

(Apparently he'll be on The View today. I can imagine them challenging him.)
