10. And he's in the dog killer club...

“Former colleagues recalled to The Guardian that Kevin Roberts, the president of the Heritage Foundation, told them that he had killed his neighbor’s pit bull around 2004 because the dog’s barking was bothering his family. Roberts, now the architect of the right-wing blueprint for a second Trump presidency, was an assistant professor of history at New Mexico State University from 2003 to 2005.

Kenneth Hammond, the history department chair at the time, told the outlet: “My recollection of his account was that he was discussing in the hallway with various members of the faculty, including me, that a neighbor’s dog had been barking pretty relentlessly and was, you know, keeping the baby and probably the parents awake and that he kind of lost it and took a shovel and killed the dog. End of problem.”
