How is it a cop out? He said he wasn’t going to back down from the mob. He also said that that “the culture in DC is corrupt,” that if certain individuals can get you into compromising positions, then they can control you. He said he is willing to fight against the corruption, and told people if they want someone to fight against the corrupt DC culture, then vote for him, but if you want someone who will be going to DC, and won’t be accountable to the people back home, then vote for them. He’s right when he said that the left, and the media want to cause a division between Republicans. What he didn’t say was that plenty of those other Republicans are willing to go along with the media, and throw him to the side of the road. I don’t agree with him when he says McCarthy needs to be Speaker. That guy needs to go.
He has named no names.
