He was another con man, cashing in on the reality that there is a certain % of the population that is dim and willing to throw money at anybody who makes them feel justified in their ignorance and bigotry. He watched Bannon, Trump, and the likes; figured they are old and someone will need to fill their shoes, collect the money from the rubes.

We have no idea if he actually believed the garbage he pushed. Con artists gotta con.
