Despite sounding like an old traditionalist conservative boomer yelling at clouds a lot of the time, Cornette is actually one of the most liberal-leaning people in the wrestling industry in terms of his actual political beliefs. It's kind of a strange disconnect, but it works.It's a facade. He votes Democrat and is outspoken about the usual talking points because he comes from a very wealthy family that had a lot of pull in Kentucky back in the day. It's this old school sense of trying to keep up appearances. The only reason he's ever gotten work in wrestling is because of his father. He's not chud-level by any means but he has his moments.
