    Is the antisemitism he wants to combat people having a problem with Jews or people having a problem with the settler colonial state of Israel? Because him framing it as a college campus issue sounds an awful lot like the latter

      Everything out of his mouth is a bad-faith accusation of Democrats. It's what makes the donations flow and the cameras roll.

      I don't think he cares about policy at all, and I can't understand why he would want the job. The only possibility I can fathom is that he wants to use it to make more money, because everyone hates the speaker. He's going to be putting a target on his back, and the freedumb caucus will blame him for their stupidity. It's not like they care who they rail against.

      Maybe he thinks he can swing the whole party in the MAGA direction long term? Perhaps he's not serious in wanting to win, and just using the opportunity to elevate his name for a Senate run later on? Whatever it is, it's pretty silly.

        Third in line. Knows trumps stochastic terrorism of the past.

        Kevin's dumb but he's also probably thinking he can be president if all goes wrong for the Dems violently.
