The right wing base does not demand purity tests.

What convinced you of this? I’ve seen this claim before, but I’ve never seen it backed up by anything.

For example, does the right-wing base support pro-choice candidates? How about pro-LGBTQ candidates?

  Naw, it’s about Israel.
  
  “Conservatives are quick to denounce each other, jump on dogpiles, disavow, attack their allies,” The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh wrote…
  
  “The left will keep up the united front and defend their guys no matter what, while we keep throwing each other to the wolves at every opportunity. Great plan.”
  
  Sound familiar?
