I would say he was abused as a child, possibly by his mother.

I think so... he admitted in an interview that when he and his sister would argue his parents would "force" them to hug. He said it was the most hated of any punishments he got. I wonder what else happened in that F upped household. Bottom line, I don't give a damn about Schmidt. He's useless and needs to get the hell out of city government...

I totally agree with your assessment. Regardless of the abuse he suffered as a child he should not be taking it out on the citizens of Portland. It shows just how unsuited and mentally unstable he is.

Agreed! He’s a fruitcake, as we used to say in the old days. No reference to sexual identity! Ha!
