Tillis’ outrage with Putin will come to an abrupt end when one of two things happens: 1. Fat Donny smacks him on the nose with a rolled up newspaper to remind him who’s boss, or 2. there’s a vote in the Senate to decide whether to cut funding for Ukraine aid. Either way, once the cameras are off, Tillis will revert to the same state of sycophancy and cowardice he always does. In his entire political career (or at least the part of it I’ve observed) when given the choice to vote with the people of North Carolina or the billionaire donor class, he’s taken the latter road every time. It earned him ALEC’s Legislator of the Year when he was NC House Speaker, and got him a ticket on a fast plane to DC, where he was attending a fundraiser while the vote for a state budget was going on. Tillis serves Tillis, and in service to that, he kneels before Trump.
