It's grammatically in error but it's the word "portray". He's describing the practice of lobbying in the cleanest sense but didn't say "pay for".

He needs to be reminded why he is there, to represent his constituents. The people who pay his salary and cushy benefits.

against everyone in his party's wishes - against Kemp appointee (rake in the covid dough) Loeffler.

Was a complete ass during the Impeachment Hearings in the house. A jim jordan talk super-super fast (gish gallopping all along the way) while saying absolutely nothing that makes any sense.

They're all so full of shit that they all look alike to me!

He still said, "portray" though.

I watched the trials, I just know he's the enemy and for some reason, the names hardly matter at this point since differentiation is moot now.

I don't trust people who talk fast and try to reword the original question to suit their narrative. Not being "experts on everything" doesn't mean you should trust or sellout to those with the most most money or power. The People is who he should ultimately be working for and not lobbyists.
