    So it turns out Mike Paly is actually a dude in Florida who had his identity stolen 10 years ago. He reached out to me with the original photos the scammers stole for the campaign, so sorry for dunking on you Mike. Please don't go looking for his socials and please don't harass him, the real Mike Paly is just another victim of the scam.
