He's far right - far wacko right. Trump supporter, anti-gun control, anti-vax, believes and disseminates all the conspiracy theory shyt, etc, etc, etc. It's like the conservative that claims to be "independent" because they're pro-choice, but otherwise ticks all conservative boxes. A moment of "independence" doesn't make up for a lifetime of spewing far right propaganda and right wing conspiracy theories. That said, I don't think AJ is a party loyalist, he loyal to himself and the insanity he spews.
