Glenn Jacobs (AKA the wrestler Kane) stood with Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul when he announced his candidacy for Knox County mayor. I called them "big guy, little guy."
Now that Rand Paul is the leading Republican critic of President Trump's on-again, off-again tariffs, I'm wondering where Jacobs stands.
Intellectual consistency would require him to stand with Rand. But politics requires that he stand with Trump. Forget the solar eclipse. Let's watch a 6-6, 300-pound guy try to hide under a rock.

Old news Sandra,
He's all in. From the Jacobs for Mayor facebook page.
(I still follow this stuff. We're still the heart of the American Nazi movement. They have a training facility in Tellico Plains. Look for them at Pride events. They train here. Nobody cares)

Thanks, Bob

I didn't realize Jacobs had continued his Jacobs for Mayor website/Facebook page since he can't run for mayor again ... and apparently can't run for anything else since he's endorsed Marsha Blackburn.
You'd be surprised....
(in reply to Sandra Clark)
His messaging to his cult is as insane as ever. Who refers to American losses as victories in a trade war. It's like describing Gettysburg as a great confederate victory.
