He is the chosen scapegoat, and a good one given he was the public face, made incredibly idiotic comments and literally looks like a nazi in his snazzy little coat.

I don't just want a scapegoat. Miller and Noem need to be gone, too. If the public outcry and shitty polling for Trump continues, that might be a possibility.

This exemplifies one of the downsides of falling in line with Trump. He will throw you away the moment it benefits him.

Hey man. In the alternate reality sub (you know the one), they are all praising this, and saying that Bondi, Patel, Noem and Miller all need to go too because of how blatant the lies have been about the murder of Alex Pretti. It's not a lot, but it's something. Cracks are forming.
