Farenthold apparently admires Aaron Burr, who after being charged with murder for killing Hamilton, spent his later years skulking around under an assumed name, promoting war with Spain, eventually charged with treason by Jefferson, fathering children out of wedlock, and running from creditors. History does not remember Burr kindly, and will not remember Farenthold at all.
