They really buried his affiliation. I figured he was because of it being North Dakota and all, but it's literally in the last paragraph.

Wait, wait! Hang on…. Lemme guess: republican, right?

Always has been.

Classic republican move.

He did it, those eyebrows are the eyebrows of a paedophile.

Yeah, if the Feds are charging him, he's going to die in prison. They generally don't bother unless they know they can convict.
