Yikes. Obrador just went FULL JOE BIDEN. Never go full Biden! You can't blame it on senility either... Odrador is pushing 70 but he's always carefully parsed his words in the past, ESPECIALLY if he's speaking about the internal affairs of another country.
Sounds to me like he mixed up Bob Menendez with Ted Cruz or something.
He's probably confused because in Mexico, the "conservative" PAN party politicians are backstabbing marxist thugs, while the "far left" politicians are sane and sensible.
So by Mexican standards, a crooked socialist RAT politician would be a "Republican from Texas"!
Obrador is NOT good. Conservative Mexican guy I know on twitter hates his guts. He’s trashed the economy and tried to rig the next election for his horrible chosen successor, Claudia Sheinbaum.
