Also called Good cop/Bad cop.

But try telling the public not to fold!

This is not good cop/bad cop.

These are classic examples of politicians betraying the trust of their naive base.

Thanks captain literal, but it is a metaphor.

Both the good cop and bad cop are trying to get the public's vote, instead of a false confession.

The public caves every time!
