REPUBLICANS DON'T SAY THINGS BECAUSE THEY MEAN THEM. They say things in order to gain power.
Once you understand that the party is wholly without scruples, and says and does whatever it can so it can gain power to cut taxes for rich people and cut regulations for industry (because that helps rich people), then all this confusion is resolved.
It's always a mistake to take Republican statements at face value.
