Taking the Scam to the Next Level

MAGA is a scam.  There is a pantheon of grifters ranging from the dangerous, powerful Vulgarmort to s host of lesser luminaries of varying malevolence.  Among these lesser luminaries is one Vincent Fusca, a kinda grubby guy in a silly hat who has become a minor celebrity among the lunatic fringe of the MAGA movement:

Many QAnon believers think this man, Vincent Fusca, is JFK Jr in disguise. Now he’s here at CPAC! Fusca says he’s approached “all over the place” by people who believe he’s JFK Jr. pic.twitter.com/9hsTsfr5qi

Well, he DOES look like he's been through a plane crash...  He's mostly harmless, though he did crash his special Trump van and tried to grift 50K from the rubes.  His real schtick is going to Trump rallies and trying to score with MAGA Mamas of a certain age:

Vincent Fusca, whom some QAnon followers believe is the living JFK Jr, spent his Independence Day at the Trump International Hotel in DC getting his picture taken with QAnon followers.

I can't blame a guy with trying to get some action, as long as everybody is a consenting adult.

Now, Fusca has decided to throw his stupid, ubiquitous hat into the ring as a state senatorial candidate in his native Pennsylvania:

We are now up to 𝟓𝟑 current or former congressional candidates for 2022 who have endorsed/given credence to/promoted QAnon at some level. The newest addition is Vincent Fusca, a PA Senate candidate, seen here at a QAnon conference saying the QAnon slogan https://t.co/vjEl7q4Xzf pic.twitter.com/cqjgUItBHD

I don't think he'll get very far because he's a mush-mouthed, mush-brained hobo, but there's always a chance- I mean, the US elected a doughy, mush-brained carnival barker as president.  Here's to you, Vincent Fusca, for taking the grift to the next level.  If I had a stupid hat, I'd tip it to you.
