Wow, I hear a blogger I’ve never heard of got millions of views claiming someone is “shopping” a sex tape of me 🙄 that will “break the internet.” . Let’s “break the internet” w/ truth - there is no tape. @KamalaHQ’s surge clearly has some people worried 🤷🏾♂️.

It's really weird that the spokesman for a major presidential candidate would go to my social media to grab a copyrighted photo of me sitting on a couch, projecting calmness, love for life, and passion for respecting the man I am today. I would think an official campaign.
A very weird tweet from an even weirder guy. Good morning y’all!.

.@KamalaHarris and I briefly dated about 20 years ago when we were both single. So what? I have great respect for Sen. Harris. I have to wonder if the same stories about her dating history would have been written if she were a male candidate?.

Appreciate the clarification, Senator @BillCassidy. It seems like you’re lecturing me about respecting the sacrifices of those who served. I had 22 years in, Senator. That makes one of us. The notion this is disrespectful to mine or anyone else’s service defies gravity.
There is not a moral equivalency between white supremacists and peacefully protesting racism. That is unrelated to the issue at hand. The anthem calls us to acknowledge the sacrifice made by others to win and preserve our freedom.
