Like this, shortly before the 2020 election, STILL accusing Democrats of corruption:

"I think it is fair to say that in many ways the Democratic Party has become a party of the coastal elites, folks who have a lot of money, upper-middle class people who are good people who believe in social justice in many respects. But I think for many, many years the Democratic Party has not paid the kind of attention to working class needs that they should have. And that has a lot to do with who funds campaigns, etc."

The working class votes for Democrats (they are not all white men with racial grievances in swing states). Democratic policy helps the working/middle classes. What is this idiot talking about?
