I think it’s why he drifted right. He couldn’t handle being called out on his bullshit so he needed to find a group of people who wouldn’t question him

Absolutely. So much of the right wing media space is inhabited by, funded by, and glorifies grifters that they've created a constant chunk of their audience that is vulnerable to their tactics. Values or policy prescriptions don't even really need to come into it, if you are a grifter it's just a smart business decision to start drifting to the right. It opens up those audiences to you because you are "one of them".
