FYI, “HR News” is outrage bait, LLM-generated blog slop that’s specifically crafted to get people to click on it to feel angry. As an example (that I’ll keep harping on about, because it’s proof positive):
“HR News” had an article whose headline said that there was a study quantifying the amount of LLM-generated content on Reddit (something like “15%”?) The article even said the journal and year it was published. However, they never provided author names, identifiers, a link, the title of the article, an issue/page number, etc. After a lot of digging (exhausting every single article in that journal in that year and searching keywords just in case they somehow got the journal name wrong), it turns out they’d completely made the fucking thing up. The article never existed. The entire premise of the blog post (that I’ll refuse to call a “news article”, because it’s a fucking Substack blog) was fabricated.

I feel like public urination is considerably less awful than the rest of those things. Why start with that? Is it like, to ease us into the headline? An amuse-bouche?

Because it would be weirder to end on it: sexual predator, cheater, nonprofit bankrupting, racist white Christian nationalist, and public urinator.

I think you could definitely end with it, but it softens the blow. I feel like that kind of style is usually reserved for comedy/roasting, though, where people may overexaggerate or just fabricate some horrible descriptors for someone and then end with an unflattering but true, descriptor.
You’re definitely right that it doesn’t fit here, because all of those things are true about Kegsbreath.

he tries to pretend to be a “Devout evangelical” but he has cheated on his wives, and is not monogamous.

It’s in ascending order, from least to worst of his offenses.

the least offensive being Pete Hegseth, and the worst being an idiot that started WW3.
