The Resume

Why he might be annoying:

    Internet searches regularly turn up content related to JFK.
    He lost races as a Democrat, and so he switched his registration to Republican (he fared slightly better, winning higher office ten years later).
    He rails against the ‘cultured, cosmopolitan, goats milk latte-drinking, avocado toast-eating insiders elite’ despite being a graduate of the - elite - universities Vanderbilt and Oxford.
    He was criticized for insulting Nancy Pelosi over impeachment, during a reelection rally with President Trump, saying ‘I don’t mean any disrespect, but it must suck to be that dumb.’

Why he might not be annoying:

    He attained popularity in the Senate for his folksy sense of humor.
    He often volunteers as a substitute teacher for public schools.
    He drew media attention grilling Betsy DeVos over school choice in an Appropriations hearing that went viral.
    He supported bipartisan measures to regulate Facebook’s data usage, scolding Mark Zuckerberg to his face during a Congressional hearing (‘your user agreement sucks!’).
    He was one of eleven Republican senators to vote to advance legislation intended to block President Trump's intent to lift sanctions against Russian companies.
