The science didn’t change. The medical science didn’t change. The political science changed. They feel the heat.”
“They know that voters have been tired of perpetual lockdown policies,” the Republican continued. “They know that they have basically offered no off ramp and they know that they’re fixing to be whooped at the polls, so that’s causing the epiphany.”
