When I first heard of him, I had an open mind, and then I heard him speak.

His voice sounds like years of chain smoking, drinking, and shoddy home first aid.

Idk why anyone would listen to and see him speak and think "wow he can be trusted to help us be healthier".

Because most of us were aware that his voice was due to a neurological disorder called spasmodic dysphonia.

Don't get be wrong, there's still a long list of reasons based on his actions and public past behavior as to why he shouldn't've been considered.
