    Except for the “now I’m safe” part, that quote could also be true for most white Republicans.

    When they were voting secretly for Speaker, about half of Jim Jordan’s votes disappeared. So those Republicans are lying when they publicly vote for Jordan.

    They don’t actually believe in what they campaigned or voted for.

    Republican politicians are opportunistic liars who are willing to mislead their own constituents if it means they can get more power for themselves.
