I doubt it. More likely Joe’s just a lazy dolt who was bright enough to see the easy money in being a congressman, then when that gig blew up, switched to being the pseudo conservative on a liberal morning show.
He’d marry Helen Thomas to keep riding the grift train.
“pseudo conservative”
Yeah—it is a weird act.
He takes a caricature of conservatives and then pretends he is one of those imaginary cartoon characters.
I have seen that online from fake conservatives from time to time—it is an astroturf thing.
They don’t really understand conservative principles so they get lost on single issues. Name calling and finger pointing and total lack of humility is also a clue.
I can imitate a leftist if I want to—but I have actually read Marx and Marcuse and understand them.
The fakers have never read John Locke or The Federalist Papers or Ayn Rand or Milton Friedman or Thomas Sowell or David Horowitz or Samuel Francis.
