It would sure make a lot of sense for him to. He could make the Republicans the majority before next year, and get plum committee assignments. And it wouldn’t matter if it upset some of his constituents, because he’s probably not running again. It would be a nice Christmas present to the Republic.
If there is so much racism in America, why do white people want to be not white? Why are they giving up their supposed “privilege”?
I heard an interview with Mike Shellenberger the other day in which he pointed out that if he declared himself to be a woman, his lefty friends would encourage him, but if he claimed to be black, they’d denigrate him. Yet (as he pointed out) he has a much more biologically in common with a black man than with any woman.
