So soft that he was clowning him.
As for the KKK blogger question - it was because of this guy -
Brett Talley, the Alabama lawyer Donald Trump has nominated to be a federal district judge, is
a 36-year-old ghosthunter who
has never tried a case and who
failed to disclose to the Senate that he is married to the chief of staff to the White House counsel. He also seems to have written 16,381 posts—more than 3½ per day—on the University of Alabama fan message board TideFans.com. As
BuzzFeed has reported, a user who is almost certainly Talley posted for years under the handle BamainBoston. (
BuzzFeed managed to identify him because BamainBoston wrote a message headlined “Washington Post Did A Feature On Me,”
linking to a 2014 Ben Terris profile of Talley.
BuzzFeed reported that a “Justice Department spokesman declined to comment on Talley's behalf.”)
A search of TideFans.com reveals that BamainBoston often opined on controversial issues, including race, abortion, perceived federal overreach, and Southern heritage. In
one post from February 2011, he defended the honor of the early Ku Klux Klan.

Talley cleared Judiciary Committee on a party line vote, but since then ran into trouble getting GOP votes on the floor after he started getting publicity for his undisclosed marriage to WH high ranking legal staffer. I believe only in the last day or so his nomination was pulled before it would be voted down. He didn't disclose his message board posting because because he figured it was under a handle and couldn't be traced to him.
