He's an opportunistic grifter, whipping up faux-outrage to increase his own exposure (not the type he used to have in the classroom).
It's what a lot of political commentators are like nowadays. They are basically like that one old man in the pub who you make polite conversation with while waiting for a pint, he draws you in on a topic he's angry about and then you are left slowly trying to edge away as he rants about "the darkies". That's the level of expertise and nous people like Grimes have. It's win-win for him this sort of stuff though. You get the bigots and "anti-woke" brigade agreeing with him and it really was better back in the day ("the day" for Grimes must be about 2008) and then you get others who comment or retweet it with a view to dismissing it or arguing with him.
Either way, his tweet, his opinion and his bloody face gets recirculated and gets him more air-time. What's worse is that then gives him the platform or the need to say even more stuff.
And that's all it is he spouts. "Stuff". He's no more a political commentator than I am a bicycle. Yeah, get on my back and I might reluctantly carry you somewhere, but don't even try to ring my bell or pump air in me where am I going with this metaphor
