Spy

The Resume

    (September 20, 1961- )
    Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
    Middle name is Wrightson
    Former counterterrorism and intelligence officer
    Worked for the CIA and the NSA
    Appears as a political pundit on MSNBC
    Author of 'Defeating ISIS: Who They Are, How They Fight, What They Believe' and 'The Plot to Hack America'

Why he might be annoying:

    He has a history of promoting discredited Russia-related conspiracy theories.
    He walked back Russophobic smears against Jill Stein (falsely claiming she had a show on Russia Today) and Glenn Greenwald (calling him 'an agent of Moscow').
    He tweeted that ISIS should carry out a suicide attack on Trump Tower in Istanbul. (He deleted the tweet but did not apologize).
    He talks in partisan soundbites (calling Trump a ‘draft dodging chickenhawk coward’ who 'failed at manhood' and 'could technically eclipse Benedict Arnold’').
    He bafflingly tried to back up Joy Reid on her claim that her blog had been hacked after homophobic and offensive posts were unearthed (even after an FBI investigation debunked it).
    MSNBC quietly cooled on booking him for appearances after the Mueller Report dropped showing no evidence of Russian collusion.
    Following a terrorist attack in Kabul that killed 13 US service members, he tweeted: '20 YEARS- FYI there have been terrorist suicide bombers killing civilians nearly DAILY in Afghanistan. This ain’t new. It’s why we are leaving. #DealWithIt.' (he later deleted the tweet and this time apologized).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is fluent in Arabic.
    He was Senior Chief Petty Officer in the Navy, specializing in naval cryptology.
    He spent more than two decades on clandestine anti-terrorism and counterterrorism intelligence operations in the Middle East-North Africa.
    He took part in combat operations that occurred after the 1983 Beirut barracks bombings.
    He was a first responder following the crash of American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon on the morning of September 11.
    He has been vocal against the CIA's use of waterboarding during interrogations, calling it 'torture.'
    He and Larry Wilmore got into it with Milo Yiannopoulos in a now infamous Real Time with Bill Maher segment in which they both told Milo to 'go Fuck yourself' after he called them 'Low IQ.'
