Like so many MAGAts, he always talks as though everyone in earshot obviously agrees with him, and if you contest anything he says, he gets quickly indignant: "Hey, don't make it all political. I'm just talking here."

But he said with clear admiration that the stroke "knocked some sense into Fetterman."

In return, I pointed out that Conservatism is caused by brain damage.

Hey, don't make it all political..."
