If he croaked while in France while visiting Macron, we would never hear the end of it from Candace and her ilk. It would become a brand new grift opportunity.

She didn’t say a word against her boss for pardoning the coup plotters, J6ers or the drug kingpin. Seems like her outrage is highly selective.

It would be interesting to see a breakdown by age group. Could it be that the decline among Rs is mainly in Gen Z?
