According to the article this guy registered this news website on May 7, 2016. That’s 12 days before this article posted.
Given the time frame he couldn’t have caused much deception nor disrupted any election processes. He’s clearly not very clever.
All hyperbole aside this appears to be a kid (19 years old according to this article) acting like a kid. Pretending and role playing. Hardly the grand conspiracy the journalist that wrote the article is coloring it look like.
I’m sure any readers of this can remember doing dumb things at 19 years old. I’m glad they didn’t get published. This kid’s dumb act has been published. It will likely cost this kid his job and damage future prospects for a few years because of it. High price for a 12 day long fantasy.
Dylan,
This comment is along time coming: You continue to do great work. You serve a vital role within our community and we all are better for it.
Thank you and please continue to keep setting the bar for journalistic standards in Pima County.
To paraphrase Socrates, you are our Sonoran desert gadfly.
Best,
RM

AZ voter: So you approve of your tax dollars paying someone to troll the internet and impersonate others (doesn’t matter who)? He was getting paid to do this by an elected official. It SHOULD kill his future job prospects - unless Trump hires him as his communications director then it might qualify him.
