Good Ole Jarrod Sessler, what a joke! He’s the guy trying hard to be the guy. Remember when he tried to be a YouTuber. He went MAGA believing Eastern Washitonians were the same kind of stupid as rural Georgians. This guy should be run out of Eastern WA and banned from showing his face in Burien. He is the phoniest on the phonies. What a disgrace!
