People like him have adopted trump as their role model. To never take responsibility for anything, let alone any blame, and when cornered, lie like a rug. Deflecting to "crooked hillary" and that kenyan, obama is about all they have, as there is quite simply no defense for stating or believing in outright fabrications.
Actually, the PeeWee Herman method of responding to any criticism with "I know you are but what am I?" is the most common deflection, but Paul Reuben's character scared and imprinted them so deeply that they still get nightmares of Reba, the strong black woman as the postal carrier. Large Marge made them afraid of strong white women which they still are.
And Cowboy Curtis gave them the opportunity to see a black guy that was a hero who had his shit together, which is frightening to bigots.
Indeed, I think this RN or whatever is actually a child of the PeeWee Herman generation.
