In this case it is 100% partisanship. This person is indeed involved in politics but on a state level not national. I envision this person getting their talking points from state leadership and then spewing the party line for his followers to get and on it goes from there. But he does a great job selling he believes all of it.

He told them to look at me, look at me close. That the closer they looked, the less sense it would all make. That I wasn't the kind of guy to kill a guy, that I was the barber, for Christ's sake. I was just like them, an ordinary man. Guilty of living in a world that had no place for me, yeah. Guilty of wanting to be a dry cleaner, sure. But not of murder. He said I was modern man. And if they voted to convict me, they'd be practically cinching the noose around their own necks. He told them to look not at the facts, but at the meaning of the facts. And then he said the facts had no meaning. It was a pretty good speech. Even had me going, until Frankie interrupted it.
Glad he was caught alive.
At some level, it's both.
