In the last week, I have decided to experiment for one year with new sources of news and commentary. I have canceled a subscription to a major newspaper that has been the homepage on my browser, have replaced it with Slate, and have added Heather Cox Richardson’s Letters from an American. It was there I encountered Aaron Rupar for the first time. I am now following him on Twitter…we’ll see. I’ve been searching for something substantial to give me a handle on this man but so far I’m getting pretty vague signals. Very young, wife, baby, Trump. I’m hoping to find more meat, am not inspired to do a major search, but will certainly pay attention to his tweets. In the meantime, good luck, young Aaron Rupar.
LMAO at “journalist.” Why do compromised, in-the-tank hacks keep referring to themselves as journalists?
Aaron Rupar is nothing more than a Democrat hack. He is NOT a “journalist “ but a paid liar for the Democrats. What a POS!
It’s almost like he was groomed just to talk about one man, “Trump” I find it strange when a man hates another man for reasons unknown. To post his thought freely and yet tear down the idea of free speech. Hypocrisy. If you step back and look at what he has said comes down to Aaron being a person who teaches hatred. It is obvious this man will never amount to anything great due to his one-sided thinking.
His legacy will be shit-talking about Trump. Sad…Truly sad for a human to waste his life just to feed the young minds of America nothing but noneducation trash talk. This is why our children can not grow up with good morals.
Hey, that clown talks about kids with no moral compass? Sure would want them to follow Trump’s example!
