I don’t know that he’s radicalized towards the right, if you mean the GOP “right.” But he’s clearly articulating extreme anti-welfare views and blaming people on welfare for the issues of govt spending (when welfare is a small portion of govt spending). His anger is directed at poor people, instead of the wealthy who continue to get tax relief.
His video this twist is based on has him directly saying “it’s not the fault of those people, welfare is a small portion of our budget”. It sounds kind of like he’s repeating back criticism that was directed at him and maybe he’s recognizing it’s either not that way or at least that it’s counter to his broader message. It’s not a woke turnaround by any means, and I think it’s find to be skeptical, but it’s kind of what you’d hope to see after someone points out that sort of criticism is just another tool of “the rich men”.

I hear ya. Plenty of ways people can be radicalized, sadly.
