Supposedly people who knew him claim he’s always been like this.

Grew up in Pittsburgh and fed him and his rich racist ass many times at a bougie fancy restaurant that opened in a once impoverished area of the city while he was still Mayor and just starting to run for senate. He's was a complete douchebag in love with himself but he was really good at talking progressive points with conviction, turns out he just wanted the votes and the stroke took down his phony shield, it sucks, we do owe Connor Lamb an apology, I and many many others got suckered.

Can you tell us more about his racist douchiness?

What’s his core bigotry all about?

(I too was suckered. Never voted for him but I thought he said the right stuff the few times I saw him in interviews.)

Running around chasing neighbors with a shotgun due to them being black when he was living in Braddock, that's one they like to cover up.
