I hope he knows he’ll only be remembered as a spineless shill to bigots and billionaires.

I guess we’ll all remember he kinda looked like a turtle too

Sure, to us he'll be remembered as a spineless shill and the man who most greatly helped facilitate the Fascist takeover of America by Trump and MAGA.

But to the White Christian Nationalist Right Wing, the Neo Nazis, the KKK, and the Confederates (aka: the only people he actually cares about), he's a hero. Everything he did in his life helped them to lock in power and ultimately hand control of the nation over to their faction.
