As a Republican? That's surprising. Although Cali mostly swings democrat, so it might have even been beneficial for R.

He was an old-school republican and honestly pretty liberal overall. He’s still far from MAGA as far as I know.

He's actively anti-MAGA. Dude knows first-hand what fascism does to people.

He’s actually on the very short list of “republicans I actually kinda respect somewhat” - Adam kinzinger and Liz Cheney too, largely because they very clearly do not like fascists, even if I strongly disagree with a TON of their politics.
