This is kinda misleading, the complaint is that cars are too expensive. They're not saying cars should be less safe, just that the extra safety isn't worth the financial cost.
(Still not a good position to take in my opinion)
it's not misleading, it's pointing out the GOPs actual position, which is to reduce costs that the manufacturer can't avoid to save them money. If safety regs are gutted, manufacturers get to keep the prices the same, but make more money. If instead more regulations are put in that necessitate reducing costs in other areas it will just cost the manufacturers money.
