    He did adopt a 14 year old black boy when he was first married to his wife. I can't find any information about the kid now or find any family pictures of them together. Sounds pretty sketchy to me.

      I actually looked it up yesterday

      So the son has been an adult for a while and allegedly has his own family, and asked not to be put in the spotlight. Which makes it confusing when he occasionally brings up his black son by name to speak to race issues, but he generally goes around saying he has 4 children instead of 5. He does generally seem to actually take a reasonable principled stance on black race issues (specifically), but I have no idea what to make of all that

      He's a weird dude all over. I wasn't sure what to make from him, but it seemed like maybe has actual principles (not good ones, but genuinely held). Learning more about him hasn't really improved my opinion of him…
