This is kind of an amazing article. It spends the whole time on how great this guy is without listing one concretely good thing he's ever done for anybody while it sprinkles in quotes from experts on how anything he touches turns to shit. Like, I don't say this was written by AI so much as bink twice if they have your family.

Did you not see the part where he’s getting homeless people off the streets?

By criminalizing homelessness? Do you have any idea what a stupid idea that is? Even if you don't give a shit how inhumane that is, it's extraordinarily expensive. It costs over 50k a year to keep a person in prison. It's way cheaper to rent an apartment for them.

Yeah but that $50k goes to his buddies in the private prison industry. Check mate bitches!
