Elaborate. In order to be "normie-facing" you gotta be cucked on some things seeing as some truths are still outside the overton window, but as far as "normie-facing" people go he's one of the best ones out there imo. And even if he's cucked on certain things, one would need to not be genuine about them in order to be a grifter.
I feel like people don't know the meaning of the word grifter and just use it as a stand in for "I dont like X person." "Anyone who isn't dealing the specific brand of shit I'm huffing is a grifter."
Last time I asked for clarification as to why Barnes is a grifter I just got word salad of he said she said BS, much of which the poster had to back off from once challenged.
Barnes’s fame predates the internet, and as such, is an old school TV lawyer. Their entire business model (or “hustle” or “grift” or whatever you want to call it) is to attach themselves to high profile people and events. He did this most famously with Wesley Snipes. But he continues to do this today. He tried to attach himself to Rittenhouse despite him already having a legal team. He’ll take on other e-celebs like Jack Murphy and then run defense for them in interview appearances.
So in that sense, his business model is exactly like Milo and Nick. All three attach themselves to high profile people in order to make money and boost their own profile.
Seems kind of weak. Its a bit of a stretch to call someone a grifter just because they're a lawyer with high profile clients. Especially when that is only a small fraction of the work they do. Even in those cases, generally they're hired for a reason, because they're providing an actual service with value, so it seems weird to write someone off as a grifter for such a reason.
