Who is Jason Wilder from Hocus Pocus and what is their importance?

Jason Wilder is a media star who specializes in making right-wing statements to a largely pro-Wilder base of ravenous, loud and frequently vulgar fans. He feels it incumbent upon himself to proclaim himself America's moral guardian, even as he invests in dubious enterprises designed to exploit his followers out of their monies at every turn. He is emblematic of the kind of public figure Eugene dislikes intensely and so plays largely as a caricature, with larger-than-life mannerisms and flowery rhetoric on behalf of his own, selfish causes. He is behind the firing of Eugene because Wilder believes liberals and intellectuals like Eugene should be driven out of the academic fields so that capitalists like himself can select the educational courses for students, instead.
