[LI] I mostly missed the Ken Bone phenomenon. I either wasn't watching or wasn't listening when he asked a question at the last presidential debate.He then became a media darling, though I'm not really sure why. Something to do with his red sweater, apparently. And the fact that after the debate he said he started off leaning towards Trump, but was impressed with and considering Hillary.
It was a perfect pro-Clinton media meme, common guy journalists otherwise would mock becomes cool because he moves from Trump to Hillary; a good example for the common folk to hear about.
Bone then sought to cash in, selling a version of his red sweater and doing other stuff to make a buck and promote himself.
Then he got boned.
By the same media that loved him, but I suspect never really accepted the conversion from Trumpist to "I’m with her" enthusiast.
The pretext was an Ask Me Anything (AMA) forum at Reddit. During the AMA Bone used his prior username, rather than creating a new one, and in searches it turned up that some of this comments at Reddit in the past were about .... sex.
CNN was on the case almost as quickly as Donna Brazile forwarded that town hall question to the Clinton team, Ken Bone leaves seedy comment trail on Reddit:
Con't.
