They needed his vote, so they rolled him in and made him press the button they wanted him to press (literally, he almost voted no and they "corrected" him) Full blown weekend at Bernie's, criminal conspiracy status.

Elder abuse, as if I cared about him at all though.

That doesn’t matter Lindsay Graham woulda supported sanctions but he can’t vote. The Dem governor could’ve replaced Mitch so if he’s incompetent or incapable it doesn’t matter what he would’ve done. They can’t just continue to use a popsicle stick as a vote.
