I mean, of course he said that. He’s trying to win a republican primary race right now. Would disagreeing with the overwhelming majority of the primary voting repub electorate be a good strategy for accomplishing that?
If your aim is to be the leader of the Republican ticket, your only option is to change Republican voters’ minds about that.
There’s no reason to run at all if you don’t, since the current default Republican position is “he did nothing wrong and the election was stolen, so he deserves another shot at the presidency.” You can’t run against him and agree with all of those things.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think anyone’s likely to change primary voters’ minds about that, but it’s the only logical strategy a non-Trump Republican could use to win.

Yeah, but Trump tried to kill him. I mean I know he has no integrity or shame, but to see it on this level still amazes me.
