2) He claims that the "main reason" he is being threatened with "impeachment" (when you're a legislator it's called "expulsion") is the revenge porn against the 13-year-old girl when he was 12 He does not mention the open assault charge against him, or the arrest when he was 14

(There's no presidential election that year, obviously, so I assume he means the KS governor race -- why this would end the national Democratic Party I dunno) He says if the Democrats were capable of doing anything, there'd have been a "blue wave" in 2016 and 2020

6) The interview finishes up with the interviewer saying "If everyone knew what I did when I was 12, I'd be publicly shamed too" It's great when people tell on themselves like this

It goes on to have Aaron sarcastically thank the KC Star for "millions of dollars in free advertising", and then the interviewer snarks that "they need to sell papers"; Aaron agrees that "print media is dying", and the interviewer complains their coverage of Aaron is paywalled

Apparently not realizing they just contradicted themselves, and the very fact that it's paywalled is why it probably had a very limited effect on the race (I actually agree with them that the paywall is obnoxious -- it's probably a major reason Aaron won the election)
