One of the most disgustingly consistent things Aaron's defenders say is that he's been honest and owned up to everything he's done He has not He is a persistent, consistent and shameless liar, and he only admits things when he has no fucking choice

3) Aaron describes his victory as a 65-35 "landslide" saying "THIRTY. FIVE. HUNDRED. PEOPLE" voted for him as though that's a high number He was running unopposed on the ballot against a write-in campaign, in a district of TWENTY THOUSAND people

He received about the same number of votes that his opponent Stan Frownfelter did when he ran unopposed two years ago He got onto the ballot unopposed by beating Stan Frownfelter in an 814-800 election, one of the lowest-turnout votes in a primary this year

4) Aaron claims that "the DNC" was specifically trying to stop his election -- he says this repeatedly and his interviewer agrees with him, that the orders came from "The DNC itself" The grandiose delusions are coming fast and furious, and are indistinguishable from MAGA shit

5) Aaron argues that the Democratic Party is over, and that "a third-party candidate" will run in 2022 that will be the Democratic Party's death knell

(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

He seems to have no comment on the fact that the term "blue wave" became a meme in the first place because of the 2018 midterms, but whatever

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)

Anyway, I probably didn't even cover every point from the interview, because I had to skim through it because I literally cannot fucking stand this shitbird's face or his voice for more than a few seconds at a time But *everything he says* is some flavor of horseshit
