    If anyone is wondering the connection:

    This guy had internships at the Heritage Foundation and did some service as a special assistant in a DHS immigration office.

    Heritage foundation strikes again with installing young puppets.

      wonder what kind of internship, doesnt look like his major/degree is anything useful, certainly not a lawyer to be judge material for the foundation.

    it’s inspiring that in the states you can be a convicted felon, and/or just a totally unqualified moron with no experience in any sort of political office (see: POTUS) and get a high profile position in the federal government. america truly is the land of opportunity

      No, he’s a poly-sci graduate: moldable lump of clay setup by the Heritage Foundation to sink or swim. Seems like he hasn’t screwed up badly enough to be coat-hooked offstage just yet.
