She's the fall guy, and republicans are playing both-sides right now, trying to claw back any credibility they can. Rolling Stone is helping them out. Don't. Fall. For. It.

Citation needed. Rolling Stone does excellent political coverage. What do you know that I don't?
I’m pretty sure this is in response to this particular article spinning the narrative as if some Republicans are actually concerned about what Noem has been up to.
The citation is this article you posted.
Not sure I agree with them though; the article is doing a pretty good job at reporting what actually happened instead of trying to editorialize it for us.
I mean, Tillis has nothing to gain from grandstanding; he's not running for reelection. The coverage here seems up to snuff.
I'd argue that Tillis retiring is exactly why he's saying this stuff - it's his way of playing both sides of the fence He's getting out while he can still (partially) claim deniability, putting on this show with Noem, and at the same time voting to let Trump continue to bomb Iran unchecked. By participating in this farce now, he limits the amount of flack he'll get for it from the True Believers, yet he's also providing cover for Republicans who think ICE has gone too far. And in the end, absolutely nothing significant will change.
Thats it. kid gloves are off. We are only half a year from an election and we are going to pretend to care. We are going to hit you with some zingers for now and you can bet that you won't be able to just go on doing what your doing without some push back. for now. I think everyone should also recognize the democrats are just like us so why even vote for them or go out and vote at all.
He's not running for reelection. He still sucks but he's speaking truth to power specifically because nothing is on the line anymore
Yeah I just can't take anyone serious who is connected to that party anymore. Any cred it had is long gone. I would really love for conservatives to find their soul again and have a legitamate party. I know im going to get so many conservatives have alwasy been facists or whatnot but I have known conservative people throughout my life. Who are earnest people that had a value system. Often times religious. I don't know anyone with principles or brains now who align with the republican party except with a few who stick to the both sides thing. Blind themselves with its about all politicians and theirs are not especially worse. Kinda funny because the closest thing I know to them are ultra leftists online who sorta have the same sentiment. They pretty much run the world now.
