This matches his decision to support Hegseth, the worst Secretary of Defense in history. For all his posturing in recent months, this is his legacy. I assume he plans to retire somewhere besides NC next year. He will find showing his face anywhere in this state an unpleasant experience for the rest of his life.

Old Tom’s standards shift with the weather. His red lines fade when the heat comes. The objections he throws out in public are mostly show, not spine. Maybe you could call it circumstance. Maybe that’s the kindest word for it.

Such a weak loser. So embarrassing and typical for this guy. Good riddance.

Lemme think … who do I trust less, Trump or Tillis? Neither one is capable of holding a belief for more than one news cycle.

Tillis is and will always be a corporate tool, putting corporate interests before the interests of the American people.

and he'll get some great paying work out of it too, nothing like a spineless transactional cretin for your GOP lobbyist

I do not recall Eric Holder (Obama) or Merrick Garland (Biden) contemplating our national interests as loyal puppets of their fearless leaders.

TACO Tillis - Tillis Always Chickens Out

He's a coward through and through.

Tillis has been a colossal fool to follow the Tangerine Toddler. So glad to see him go. Now we have to get Cooper elected.

Thanks, Thom. More bullshit to add to your mountainous pile of poop for the people!

Tillis has the spine of a jellyfish. But I didn’t expect him to do the right thing and sure enough, my expectations were met. If our state first turn his bloody red seat blue with Roy Cooper, we can chalk us up as completely bamboozled. Rapublicans have done nothing good for NC since they took over.

Oh, is it T.A.C.O. time again? Tillis Always Chickens Out. Just like his Dear Leader.

Not surprised he caved at all. Pathetic

Of course Tillis did the wrong again. I’m not surprised at all. This is typical Tillis behavior. Like Susan Collins, he’ll make some noises about being concerned and do the opposite every. single. time. Both Tillis and Cornyn are cowards!

Tillis is and always has been a sycophant. He's unimportant. He destroyed the integrity of the military with his decision to vote for Hegseth. He will be remembered as a minor political figure. The naïveté of thinking that Tillis and Cornyn could negotiate a written agreement with Blanche and Trump is so clear. Of course Trump would never abide by a written agreement. He simply does not believe in the rule of law!
