We can criticize his choice of language here but Braun replaced Donkey Donnelly, and Donnelly's ACU rating was ZERO in 2017. ZERO. At least Braun averages mid-high 80s.
Also consider that Braun’s babooning statement may gaslight some independents into actually believing what Braun says; meanwhile Braun just took himself out of any Cabinet slot in Trump’s 2nd term. Really that’s a win-win.
