First few seasons of BB I think Walter White votes Kamala. Hank seemed more MAGA type and he was dubious of Hank. Plus he’s a science teacher.

Shoutout to the time she was on Hot Ones and the host tried to prompt her to tell a David Letterman story and she instead was like yeah whatever who gives a shit and talked about visiting FDRs house
