I was just reading a WSJ article about it and basically the through line is “well we never gave Dems any concessions or have any plans to, and we forced through that last spending bill without time for review, and I broke promises on spending limits and then launched an unfounded impeachment bid BUT THEY WONT SHOW ANY UNITY TO KEEP THE HOUSE GOING” (obviously paraphrasing there)
The short of that is that he spun the efforts of the Democrats to actually read what they were voting on as efforts to shut him down, to try and make the moderate republicans the only good guys.
He already tried to blame them on CNN or something. Saw the headline. Didn’t read the article.
