They have not tacked to the center.

They have not even admitted that anything that was done during that time was wrong.

The Democrats have not done that at all.

They haven't said they did anything wrong.

There's no denying it.

He is just bathing in scandal.

Let's go through some of them.

Ken Paxton.

And keep in mind that he's the attorney general of the state of Texas.

I guess the zeitgeist within the party's moving.
