Having said that, I’d point out that his credibility took a huge hit when he was running around claiming to have the GOP votes he needed to dump Liz Cheney from her House leadership role, only to see her retain her post by a wide margin when the vote was actually held. At that point he became little more than a flamboyant clown with a big mouth who said all the right things but couldn’t deliver when it mattered.
I challenge you to name 2 or 3 Republicans that DON’T fit that description.
Was he a clown?
Or was he suckered?
Do you think his colleagues were above setting him up?
I don’t.
If true, he won’t be in Congress. He will be doing a fine in federal prison. Maybe he can get re-elected afterwards, though.
