Has anyone got a non-paywalled link for this?

He's still supporting Trump and Vance, so I guess this is a tacit admission that explicitly provoking racist violence directed at the constituents he "serves" isn't a dealbreaker for him.

What is his incentive for writing this if he supports Trump?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

To try and get him to tone down the rhetoric, I guess? Or to reassure his own swing voters?

I agree, just trying to find some logic in there!

Governor Suckup doesn’t say that Trump and Vance lied. He states that he supports them, although they’re “repeating claims that lack evidence”. And then in an absolute WTF he goes on to accuse the Biden administration of verbally attacking Haitians:

“The Biden administration’s failure to control the southern border is a very important issue that Mr. Trump and Mr. Vance are talking about and one that the American people are rightfully deeply concerned about. But their verbal attacks against these Haitians — who are legally present in the United States — dilute and cloud what should be a winning argument about the border.”

That seems to be a shared talking point, to steer any discussion about what Trump and Vance are doubling and tripling down on over to "but the border problem..." Vance even stated at one point that he knows the people in Springfield are legally here but he'll continue to call them illegals.
