Note what's he's saying here. He'll switch parties and change his domestic politics, because of how much money a FOREIGN country is getting.

So his priorities are Israel #1 US further down the list

He’s being intellectually dishonest. It’s his off-ramp to become a Republican and blame it on someone else.

lol. 100% right. when he switches to GOP, he can say he didn't betray his voters, by governing differently from how he campaigned, but the voters, who went too "woke", and stopped allowing him to blindly give Israel money.

"When" was like 2 years ago. Don't fall for him being suddenly different, he's always been one side, and not his elected side

I don't think we can really call it "dishonest". Guy literally had a stroke and suffered brain damage, leading him to do a 180 to align with the rest of the brain damaged politicians.

IMO the DNC should be blasting his face nation-wide. "What do you get if you take a liberal and destroy a chunk of his brain? A fashy conservative."
