Call a female legislator a bitch is a sure fire way to get positive publicity with the base.

freeer to indulge himself than he should.

He doesn't strike me as a happy corrupt betrayer. Maybe the chips he's undoubtedly trying to cash in aren't as lucrative a career step as he expected. Two years in the minority party wouldn't put him in good position when the question's asked, "But what's he done for us lately?" Nada.

As he was walking away from AOC, he saw a female dog fornicating, and that's what his "fucking bitch" referred to. It was a simple observation.

"The offensive name-calling words..." etc? Is he saying he said those words but they weren't meant to be directed to other people?
