Watch: Ralph Yarl shooter's grandson recalls him saying 'weird racist' things

Raw Story  

The grandson of Andrew Lester, the man who shot 16-year-old Ralph Yarl after he rang Lester's doorbell, told CNN's Don Lemon on Thursday that he had regularly heard his grandfather make racist comments. Ludwig said his grandfather had "racist tendencies" and would say "weird, racist" things while also espousing conspiracy theories. "I feel like a lot of people of that generation are caught up in this a 24-hour news cycle of fear and paranoia perpetuated by some other news stations," he said. Ludwig went on to elaborate that Lester believed in election-denying conspiracy theories while also believing some "very weird" things about Dr. Anthony Fauci.
