Opposes when safety or fairness is at risk. Sure. I don’t buy the “when.” When is that, exactly? Never, apparently — he voted against every restriction Texas put up. That “when” is a get-out-of-jail card. So what’s his vote on the federal bill? Crickets. Show me a threshold, a rule, a number. Otherwise it’s a weathervane in a suit, and the missing piece is the only piece that matters.
Bathroom bill died quietly. Now he needs votes.
At risk." Says who? The coach? The ref? The parent whose kid lost a race? He voted against Texas’s rules — so nothing was at risk here? Convenient. Now the federal bill: yes or no. Not “when fairness is jeopardized.” Yes or no. He wants a Senate seat, not a referee’s whistle. Answer it, or admit there’s no answer.
Why do I smell election-year fairness conversion?
I saw him vote against bans. Now safety?
Who exactly decides when fairness is at risk?
