These "quips" are the animating dogma of the GOP, particularly those of the Freedom Caucus/Tea Party persuasion.
Take a moment and read this from Jennifer Rubin, a conservative and erstwhile Republican. It pretty much sums up today's GOP. A good, insightful read with the following punch line:
The GOP is a party gone off the rails morally, intellectually and politically. Not conservative or even coherent, it relies on state TV (Fox News) and Russia bots to echo its nonsense. The question is not why people like Dent, Ros-Lehtinen and Reichert are leaving but why any reasonable adult would remain in the GOP.
