What is wrong with Sam Harris?

He recently appeared on the British podcast "TRIGGERnometry" and made the following comment:

Hunter Biden literally could have had the corpses of children in his basement, I would not have cared

To a sane person, this is an outrageous statement to make. I'm a fan of TRIGGERnometry and have listened to the whole podcast with Harris so I'm aware that he was elaborating on his perspective of Trump when he made this comment, but it's still a really unhinged thing to say and he was being absolutely serious when he said it. I have no idea why anyone would follow this guy or consider him credible in any way because there is something demonstrably wrong with him. He is clearly a troll and will do and say anything to get attention (he always has), but I actually think he is mentally ill as well.

He spent years criticizing Christians, which endeared him to the Left...then when that got boring to people and the novelty wore off he started criticizing Islam, and to an obsessive degree. Although this brought him attention, it also isolated him from many liberals. Now, he's decided to go after Trump and say the most absurd things about him because he wants to regain recognition from the Left and ingratiate himself with them again.

He really is pathetic.

I love that you're doing something the left does all the time.

@SW-User So what the left does is they see someone who has like, an entire career's worth of material. Thousands of words and takes and personal explorations.

Then they say one thing and they'll go A HAH MASK OFF MOMENT CANCELLED.

This dude isn't a secret monster, he's a very well known political voice and there's no secret bs going on. He was making a point about how Hunter Biden isn't a real political figure and anyone who fixates on him is an idiot. Not that he has no value for human life.

And you know that. But you're deliberately exaggerating this to make a point about a liberal commentator to make him out to be a monster.

Exactly like the left would do if someone said one stupid thing six years ago on twitter.

@CountScrofula Oh, I actually don't know that. As I said in the original post, he was being very serious when he said that he wouldn't have cared if the corpses of dead children were found in Hunter Biden's basement because "Trump bad man".

Also, I made it clear that I think Harris has espoused a lot of trash on other things as well. I am not calling him a troll or questioning his character (and state of mind) just because of one comment, as insane as that comment is.
