Yep. See also most of their excuses for their own inaction, such as the attempts now to spin a potential government shutdown and default in September as “Obama forcing us to do this by not agreeing to defund Obamacare!”

I’ve seen worse, back in the Bush years, when a wingnut friend told me that waterboarding wasn’t torture because the detainees could stop it any time they wanted by telling their torturers interrogators what they wanted to know.

I told him that’s exactly what Torquemada would have said - ‘These Jews aren’t being tortured. They can stop it any time by recanting their heresy and embracing the True Faith!”

Response? Crickets.
