There are times that I think some politicians (say, Biden or McConnell) don't actually have the capacity to understand what they're really doing or saying, but are just going with what their respective aides and advisors make up for them. I would almost guarantee most of the older pols don't run their own social media accounts, either. They are ultimately half-decent mouthpieces who yearn for fame and money. They may lack shame because none of what they say is genuine, so blame for negative feedback can be passed off onto someone else.
