He attempts to paint it as "stealing the election" but that seems like propaganda as much as anything since a lot of the things there are nothing new. Paying people to come to rallies is a real thing, stealing people from others campaigns isn't new, etc. but the way this guy paints it he is acting like he alone if a threat to democracy when the reality is it has been under siege for a while.
While I can't find a ton on the guy, it appears he has had issues with Bloomberg for years as a result of the stop-and-frisk policies (my speculation there based on his writings).
