Because he has very swiftly shown his hypocrisy.

He's against welfare, yet he's a recipient himself.

Sure, the dyed in the wool tea flavored cool aid drinker won't even notice, but this has gotten enough attention that even the run of the mill (less committed) republican voter can smell the bullshit.

He's clearly racist and he's not even talking in code (like Ryan). He's just letting it all hang out there while the gun toting militia types have no choice but to back him.

Several undesirable democraphics are displayed for what they are in this 'stand-off'. I say keep this guy in the news as long as possible.
