This is only true if you consider policy to be separate from humanity. The advocacy of anti-poor policies (he's in favor of preventing caps on the price of inmate calls in prisons, he and O'Rielly submarined the Lifeline internet program designed to help the poor connect to the internet) speaks to him as a human being as much as anything else. The notion that policy and politics are somehow separate from the measure of a human being is dangerous because it provides all sorts of cover for nasty, anti-social behavior just because it seems like he loves his wife and his dog. (This can also be called the Mike Pence strategy.)
