Even former called him embarrassing... Trying to remember his other issues.. there was something about his marriage and too quick girlfriend...

Back home in Ohio... This WAS Mandell!
He favored increased federal student aid — “to maximize assistance from the government,” as he put it in The Lantern on Nov. 5, 1999. He was well ahead of the national curve in supporting domestic partnership benefits for students including those in same-sex relationships. And he talked a lot about the importance of diversity and inclusivity.

Diversity is education,” he said.

“I think it’s very important for students to learn about Black history,” he said. “There have been incredible African American leaders and inventors who haven’t been given any credit just because of the color of their skin.”

He called Black Lives Matter activists “thugs.” He called “the transgender movement” “insane.” He called Covid-19 “a bioweapon manufactured by the Chinese Communist Party” to defeat Donald Trump. He talked about the “seep” of “illegals” at the border, describing the emigration of Haitians, Hondurans, Mexicans and Guatemalans as an “invasion” “funded” by George Soros, “orchestrated” by Barack Obama and “enabled” by Joe Biden. He said he didn’t believe in the separation of church and state because “there’s no such thing.” And he suggested he didn’t need or even want traditional GOP support. He made a fist and patted his chest at his heart.

"I wear as a badge of honor,” said Josh Mandel, with two quick curls of his lip and a self-satisfied smirk, “that the establishment in the Republican Party hates me.”

He doesn’t act the way he used to act, and he doesn’t talk the way he used to talk, say so many Democrats and Republicans alike. And they’re right. He used to present as more moderate, used to preach bipartisanship and diversity and civility, and no longer state, and so far as people around him could tell Mandel likewise was somewhere in the middle of the political spectrum. He interned one summer with his congressman — the late Steve LaTourette, a moderate Republican. “I would’ve pegged him,” said one person who knew Mandel well, “as center-left.”

SMH @ Putin's saying "the West" left him no choice but to invade Ukraine. How does he figure that? As if HE is the victim here!

But, I've got a daily growing belief that T-rump & he shared their stupid strategies, complaints, love of Hitler's tactics, & talking points during the time they spent together.

That such horrible people are allowed to exist, and even seem to prosper in many ways, is starting to test my faith.

So very sad....
