While the kid leaned Right in his politics, I haven't seen anything that would indicate that this was some plot to embarrass anyone, or to expose the information to any enemy, etc... . It was a young man who made a childish mistake, and will now pay the price. As he should, to try and prevent this from happening again.
It is NOT political, as some would try to make it. He is NOT a "victim of The Woke Left" trying to "hide the truth".

@LindaGoodliffe @TheBigWu I would add that he likely has authoritarian leanings. He's dangerous.
