The GOP vice-presidential candidate’s comments have set off a wave of criticism and mockery from critics, including some Republicans.

The Republican vice-presidential nominee used the prime-time slot to try to repackage MAGA for the political middle, his latest well-timed reinvention.

Candidates ranging from Donald Trump to House candidates are seeking to soften, or appear to soften, their hardline stances.

The campaign views men as Trump’s path to victory, and many staffers talk like it.

Trump and his aides have repeatedly publicly attacked Sams for his criticism of the former president during Fox interviews.
