And he just flat out lied about the Nazi tattoo stuff.

And I watched his response.

Now, listen, I'm a person that I'm OK with redemption stories when it seems to be legitimate.

But you can tell a lot from a person's disposition, from the way they handle adversity.

And I did not believe that he was legitimately redeemed or sorry.

Within a week, like his original campaign folks did one couple that came on and then resigned almost immediately around that controversy because of the way he handled it.

That tells you a lot, because when you're a senior campaign staffer, you have a lot of insight and you're around that candidate and you see them when the cameras aren't on.

And I can tell you, especially the women that were on that campaign that said, I'm out.

You know, he was a prep school kid.

He's not just some regular guy.

There was a lot going on here that people were wish casting and hoping because he brought something different and they were willing to overlook his really troubling and alarming character flaws and behavior just to be something different that I knew was gonna blow up in their faces.

And he lied to a lot of people.

You know, and once when there's smoke, there's fire.
