Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) and Wesley Hunt (R-Texas).

During the discussion, the accused businessman called in to reply questions by phone and rushed to emphasise the surge in support amongst black voters since his mugshot was released, claiming it was “the best mugshot of all time.” “Since that happened … the mugshot … the mugshot is the best … it beat Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra by a mile … the best mugshot of all time. It’s really an incredible thing. Since that happened, support among the black community and the Latino community has skyrocketed,” he said as Donalds held up the phone.

“It was amazing. It really was amazing. It was actually very nice to see it. You kind of go, ‘Oh man, it’s not that bad,’ but the truth is, it’s a really wonderful thing when I see it.”
