And why shouldnt he? The most prominent Republicans in Washington in 2023 are all scammers, liars, bigots, criminals, aspiring fascists and conspiracy theorists. Why should he step down, walk away from his bag, and be some bigger person at his own expense?
If anything he'd have a harder time with his voters if he said things that were honest and truthful. Republicans don't care if you're a total damn liar or totally unqualified--ask Herschel Walker--as long as you are playing your role for their selfish agenda.
Just say some shyt about defending Trump, liberals grooming kids, stopping wokeness, and supporting cops to those Long Island cacs and they'll act like it never happened.
