How many snakes are hiding in the GOP?
Is it just cowardice or are they running as ringers to betray the nation and state on critical votes?
Voters need to develop a memory of these things and turn them out of office.

Many are infiltrators, IMO. It has been going on for decades, and has been a highly successful means by which Democrats get elected in solid Republican venues, and then continue the charade except for critical moments when an infiltrator is needed to deviate for a specific purpose.
And some are merely blackmailed. My guess is that this guy was blackmailed. It was quite clear from the interview, as with Noem a few weeks ago, that there was no valid reason which could be given.
You will notice that the Democrats never have this problem. Guys like Manchin put on a show for electoral reasons, but they are NEVER a problem ultimately.
