It is his opinions and political goals. Not because he is maybe possibly on spectrum, which is something that does not make him any less awful.
What relevance does someone not liking his opinions and politics have on whether or not he should obtain security clearance? I assume your position here is more nuanced that what your comment suggests?
And when it comes to security clearance, yes your ideology plays the role, always did. And should play the role. A simple example is that if your general ideology is "I dont care about law and I prefer to be an agent of a foreign country" then you should have no clearance.
I agree.

Of course. What's important here though is what ideologies it's reasonable discriminate against. Someone's opinion of someones politics isn't really relevant, unless their political views are a clear risk to national security.
I'd agree that someone being communist sympathising or fascist sympathising could be reason to reason to revoke someone's security clearance. Whether it's reasonable to suggest Karp holds fascist opinions though, I won't comment on beyond suggesting that might not be the most charitable take.
