It’s hard to know what’s in any man’s heart. Wood, who as a 16-year-old child lived through the unspeakable tragedy of returning home from a date to discover that his father had murdered his mother, has surely suffered trauma. McKissick says, “the guys in the little white coats need to grab him with a butterfly net and take him back to Georgia.” But I’m not so sure. I took one more swing at Wood on the way out of the event in Columbia. He seemed to be in a more pleasant mood. He had a handful of fans around him. Wood wanted to expand on his ominous prediction from earlier. With the puckish glimmer of a bullshitting teen, he spun me a yarn about how Biden’s inauguration was fake. How Biden was sworn in at the wrong time. How the light was coming from in front of him rather than overhead. How the weather was wrong. How it was all a stage. In the coming months the swamp would be drained, just like Trump promised, he said.
