Tillis, like ALL Republicans, cannot be trusted. So you have that. You’d think people could figure this out.

really gotta pay attention to words like "potentially"

Check Tillis’s bank account and text messages. Where are all the DEMs calling him out??? @aoc.bsky.social @jasmineforus.bsky.social it is getting too much with the DEMs clutching their pearls in the Senate on this…

They are willing to throw anyone under the bus.

Just another spineless coward.

A lot of people won't see heaven.

Trust the word of a Republican at your own peril.

Call his five and go off

Doesn't make much difference, but curious if he was sincere in the moment or knew he was just jerking her around as he said it.

Shock m! Tillis is a liar and a coward? No way!!

ethanhunter.bsky.social•26 days ago

Man. It’s crazy to think a guy like Tillis who has only ever been evil continues to be evil. What were the odds? Oh 100%? Cool cool cool.

When they show you who they are... 😕

Yes, there's a good reason to lose faith in humanity at the moment. Eff all politicians! They are snakes with split tongues, talking from both sides of their mouths; always.

So another Republican lying.

Apparently it didn't convince HIM! JFC, does he not have daughters, a wife, sisters, a mother? #NotMySenator

That is way too kind.

trust the word of a Republican and you get what's coming

He only ever planned to be the third and final "no" vote, forcing Vance to be the tie-breaker. But McConnell beat him to it. Tillis never had any intention of keeping Hegseth from being confirmed.

I was watching the count live on the NYT site. Tillis was one of the last to vote, and my heart sank when I saw he was a “Yes”. It took me most of the weekend to recover, but now I’m ready to fight again. Resist.
