This is the guy from the HBO Vice segment on Charlottesville. Tough talking Nazi at the rally then blubbering crybaby when called out on it.
Quite a background this guy has..

What's your favorite malaphor?
Everyone knows what a metaphor is, but I prefer malaphors.
A malaphor is a mixture of two common idioms, or cliches leading to the creation of a something new in metaphor form.
Probably the best known is it's not Rocket Surgery. A combination of it's not rocket science and it's not brain surgery.
My personal favorites" We'll burn that bridge when we get to it" and " The road to hell is the spice of life".

Q.What is voter intimidation?
A.
Federal law, and many states laws, prohibit voter intimidation. Federal law makes clear that "no person
shall intimidate, threaten, coerce
any other person for the purpose of interfering with the right of [that] person to vote or to vote as he may choose."
If someone is interfering or attempting to interfere with your right to vote, or with anyone elses right to vote, that may be voter intimidation and a violation of federal law.
Voter intimidation is not common. But here are some examples:
Aggressively questioning voters about their citizenship, criminal record, or other qualifications to vote , in a manner intended to interfere with the voters rights;
Falsely presenting oneself as an elections official;
Spreading false information about voter requirements, such as an ability to speak English, or the need to present certain types of photo identification (in states with no such requirement);
Displaying false or misleading signs about voter fraud and the criminal penalties related thereto; and
Other forms of harassment, particularly harassment targeted towards non-English speakers and voters of color.
Photo catches Trump double-checking Melania’s ballot — and the internet erupts with laughter
http://www.rawstory.com/2016/11/photo-catches-trump-double-checking-melanias-ballot-and-the-internet-erupts-with-laughter/comments/I have pneumonia but voted today in Illinois- good turnout here in Chicago.
Nothing was going to keep me from voting.Nothing.
Feel guilty that I can't help with the Victory Counsel in MI like I was scheduled to but-at least you can bank 1 for Madam President and Sen. Duckworth.
Good turnout.
I have faith in America. Hillary will win.
I'm guessing 322 EV and 48% popular vote miniumium. Hoping for so much more though.
GOTV DU!

BREAKING: Senior Congressional Aide Says Chaffetz Tweeted Comey Letter Before Democrats Even Saw It
Source: Daily Kos
FBI Director James Comeys recent letter to Congress about the Hillary Clinton email investigation is looking more and more like a political dirty trick. Earlier this evening, we learned that the FBI didn't have a warrant to read the emails discovered on Anthony Weiners computer, and therefore Comey doesnt know if they are even significant to the Clinton investigation. Now, Shareblue reports that Comey may have provided early access to his innuendo-filled letter to Republican Congressman Jason Chaffetz, enabling him to tweet about it and frame the media narrative before Democratic members of Congress even received copies of the letter.
Here is the statement by a senior Democratic congressional aide (emphasis in original):
Democratic Ranking Members on the relevant committees didnt receive Comeys letter until after the Republican Chairmen. In fact, the Democratic Ranking Members didnt receive it until after the the Chairman of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Jason Chaffetz, tweeted it out and made it public.
If true, this implies that FBI Director Comey may have deliberately helped Republicans by giving them a heads-up about his bombshell letter while depriving Democrats in Congress of an equal opportunity to consider its contents and prepare their reaction to it in the media.
This may constitute evidence of intent to influence the presidential election, which would be a violation of the Hatch Act. If Comey had acted evenhandedly, he would have sent the letter to both Republican and Democratic members of Congress at the same time.
James Comeys reckless and possibly illegal actions as FBI Director in t

Looks Chaffetz timed this to sandbag the Democratic House members after it had gone public.
Hope he loses big in UT. ( unlikely though)
