Is anyone surprised that Kyle's far-right political handlers ensured this particular detail didn't make it into his book?

Regarding his online high school diploma, we had to force him to complete the four years of credits in just ten months, which he did using the "Google machine."
We invested significant effort to craft the image you witnessed during the trial. We outfitted him in new suits, arranged for his haircut every weekend during the trial, and dedicated over 200 hours to prepare him for direct and cross-examination. We employed the world's leading jury consultant and conducted extensive research through three mock trials to identify the ideal jurors and the most effective approach for his testimony.
Transforming a middle school dropout who was “angry at the world” with a history of violence and an unhealthy obsession with guns and killing into a respectable young man with a desire for higher education and a promising future was no easy feat.
It was a meticulously crafted facade, which we sincerely hoped he would grow into. Instead, he squandered a full scholarship to study any subject at any university in the country to become a divisive douchebag and antagonize black Americans on college campuses. Kyle failed to learn a single thing. He remains the same uneducated, arrogant, and antagonistic individual, incapable of telling the truth.
Now, he genuinely believes he is the show pony we created and has surrounded himself with sycophants who fuel his inflated ego because they prioritize their political agenda and Christian Nationalist worldview over his well-being.
Despite my efforts to guide him toward a better path in life, the allure of notoriety triumphed over the prospect of putting in the hard work of pursuing an education. Kyle is ill-equipped to offer advice to young people. I regret my role in shaping him into whatever he has become. If I had known what I know now about Kyle’s history, I wouldn’t have been involved.
I don't think there's a standard too low for right-wingers. My first encounter with Rittenhouse shit was with him as a police cadet. He pretended to be a firefighter and listed EMT certifications he never had, just to sound cool despite perennially looking like that 10 year-old on Xbox Live who screams the n-word any time they die. When that's the starting point for him, a child soldier who can't intellectually qualify as a marine pretending he wants to be a firefighter when he grows up, how much more pathetic can he get? He's purely an empty vessel for even more pathetic hogs who are too afraid of Antifa to go to that BLM protest and shoot one themselves.
At the same time I think the Turning Point USA circuit is the high point of his life. The world was handed to him on a silver platter and he couldn't manage to do anything with it. Kyle will die by age 30 choking on a can of beans because he didn't know you're supposed to open it first.
