Aaron Rupar and the missing hinges

“It’s really difficult to cover him in a way that conveys how unhinged he is”: The Times (gift link) profiles Aaron Rupar. Heather Cox Richardson begins today’s installment Letters from an American with what Rupar says and goes on to tally the unhinged moments of the day. Here’s one that I missed, from the White House Easter Egg Roll:

Sitting with children drawing pictures, he told them they could sell his autograph on eBay for $25,000. He signed their pictures, and while he signed, he told the children that former President Joe Biden was “incapable of signing his name” so he had aides follow him around with an autopen machine.
You can see it at CNN.
