The 40-year-old Kansan behind the Clinton-knocking website

McChesney had made the site, iwilllookintoit.com, earlier this month, after hearing Hillary Clinton say those words in a Democratic presidential debate.

"To me, it was the equivalent of her saying, 'Let them eat cake,'" McChesney said.

[...] that's when the 40-year-old web developer in Olathe, Kansas said he became a fan of Sanders, whom he calls "genuine" and "the real deal."

The site had been getting a little news coverage here and there but exploded in popularity after the Sanders tweet.

The site's temporary error message Friday morning was what helped the The Associated Press track down McChesney.
