The radical left.

The .ts file extension probably screwed it up, but it is still amusing.

Looking back at this, apparently it was posted at 4am, so he was probably just wasted.

I also trust his “sarcastic” comment here as much as I would trust a comment that said “yeah but we would never do that”. Which is to say, not at all.
