Yes, as long as there are people who think he's cool. Or think he's not a total piece of shit.

He's just about whittled his support down to the sort of people that cheer on that sort of shit, just like Trump

Once you get to that point News like this actually does help him. The people who care already know and so this just builds up his core supporters.
