Summary

He loves to draw Hillary's butt. He's a libertarian who just happens to draw trump like he's a biblical figure with a young athlete's body. He got retweeted by Kylie Jenner because he's anti-vaxx. His images were tweaked by neo-nazis to create surprisingly effective memes. Which have in turn been retweeted by Ron Paul. He got invited and then disinvited from the White House social media summit. It involves Mike Cernovich. Alex Jones keeps inviting him on. It's just... a mess. And a fun episode.
