republicans but they are more than willing to use it to their own advantage. The problem is, they cannot back out of it once they start.

I think the vast majority of them don't believe it, but "own the libs" is higher on the priority list.

I'm quite certain, for example, that half of the House GOP caucus doesn't think the election was stolen, yet they voted as if they do. There are some really dumb Republicans in the House, but not that many. For most of them, it's an act.

He's part of the shyster, grifter, manipulator trump strategy. Maybe he's a high priest of their cult.
