For most, it's almost entirely an act. That includes Trump, by the way.

There are a few possible exceptions. Gohmert and Tuberville appear to be genuine idiots. Steve King appears to be a genuine white supremacist. Marjorie and Boebert appear to be bone-dead stupid.

But, most of them are faking it and are just sticking to the script. That actually makes it worse.

Abbott and Cornyn just play dumb, and it's infuriating. Cruz can't be as dumb as he acts. Gohmert can.
