I guess the MAGA Republicans in safe seats feel that they can get away with saying outrageous things like this to get noticed and score points with Trump so that's why they do it.
If this is the best they can come up with I'm not worried for you.

Well, underestimation is one of the biggest difficulties we have going for us in this country. It, more than any other factor, is what won Trump the election in 2016, and it's the surest path to him winning again. I'll never forget Chuck Todd on election night, 2016, adamant that the numbers would turn around, incredulous that what was happening
was happening. Vigilance is absolutely vital, and we can't take anything for granted, no matter how nonsensical it must seem.
In truth, it's almost impossible to explain what the political situation is like within the U.S. to those outside of it. I learned this several years ago when talking with my parents - a Canadian and New Zealander, both living in Canada. There's just no way to express the feeling of a handcart careening downhill, pushed by a group of reckless idiots, with other reckless idiots batting more sensible hands away from the handbrake. It defies logic, reason, sense, and even self-preservation, and yet... And yet.
The Tuberville holds are just a small, but significant subset of the greater issue. Our system is suffused with it right now. Send help.
