>>507601363 (OP)It's not just him, two others did it with their speech, including Steve Bannon. Four nazi salutes at CPAC. Basically he was in trouble for strongly supporting H1Bs along with Trump. They ran the risk of alienating the rightwing or just anyone sensible as their policy ran counter to the ideology they push while being blatantly anti-worker and pro-billionaire. The solution is to wink and nod to ethnonationalist rightwing sensibilities to retain that crowd despite his aggressive and moneyed push against them somewhere they actually care about the most.
