How exactly did it backfire? He got a bunch of people who Republicans hate to say he’s the worst. If anything the scheme worked even better than expected.
I think it’s in the sense that he did this with the intent of being favored over his opponent due to his support of things like coal. It backfired because it was so cringe that even the coal groups don’t want him now and endorsed his opponent.
Coal lobbyists are literally the only Republican-allied group mentioned and they just kept lukewarm distance. From the wording it kind of sounds like they were already with his opponent. They were never going to care about a Dylan Mulvaney troll. The already know who’s going to ask “how high” when they say “jump”.
