Later, at the University at Albany, Mr. Markoff was a member of the College Republicans, and traveled to Washington in 2004 to hear speeches by Ann Coulter and Karl Rove.

"traveled to Washington in 2004 to hear speeches by Ann Coulter and Karl Rove."

I'm sure he would have enjoyed the January 6 Insurrection.....

and SO sorry for the victims - those he robbed, terrorized, and murdered. And so sad for the fiancé - dishonored in such a terrible way.

Politically, he probably would have been a welcome member of Gaetz's campaign staff - it looks like a similar thread there regarding "political" thinking...........

I was thinking about him because of Gaetz
