Is he on the right or left? His answer was essentially “no.” He’s on the side of the people and feels both political aisles are broken. According to a post Friday evening:

Ironically, his unintentional declaration against the UniParty Swamp — pitting us versus them rather than left versus right — will likely cause even more people to follow him.
