Before we all get too carried away in praise of Thom Tillis . . . [View all]

Look, yes, his takedown of Noem was a satisfying watch. But it was interesting that he should bring up the dog killing incident, given that he voted to confirm her with full knowledge of that incident. He says that it was a "bad decision." Yes, it certainly was, Thom. But you voted to confirm her with full knowledge of that "bad decision." So what does that say about you?
