This does sound like he's got his tongue up Trump's butthole, but he's also not wrong. There are a lot of Trump supporters in rural Pennsylvania, and they are not swayed by the felony conviction or the racism or the dementia or the rape, because those inbred meth-heads are able to relate to Trump on a personal level.
He's not wrong about some of what he said. He also said this about Trump being a felon-
I mean, I thought Democrats, we were the party that was all about second chances and that we’re not going to condemn somebody based on mistakes or things in that kind of situation.
The idea that the party would give a second chance to Donald Trump when he hasn't even been sentenced yet is insane.
