I’d bet it’s as simple as this: he got polling that says that the base is sick of the GOP establishment seeming to welcome Biden and be deeply saddened that Trump is fighting fraud that erases their votes. So he’s talking tough. He’s good at that. But there will be no action, it’s just more political theater from a party that never means anything it says.
It’s always theater with the Turtle and Linda Graham.
They hate us just as much as anybody else, and we continue to vote for them.
