75. He is FAR from the man.

The first minute of the clip shows that he is still a xenophobic ASS who has a very casual relationship with the truth.

In my opinion, this is him trying to polish his version of Republicanism (100% racist, %100 misogynist, 100% classist, but 30% less flat-out insane than MAGA) ahead of the primary to fill his seat.

Looking tough on Noem is an easy and basically risk-free way to play "maverick" while actually doing ZERO to deal with the problem.

Calling for her resignation is weak sauce. He should be calling on his party members in the House to impeach her.
