Democratic legislators would walk out if he made a political speech. “The Senator assured me that he would not make a political speech, so we agreed to stay in our seats,” Rep. Dillin said. The Senator softened up the Democrats with praises for their minority work in opposition to the GOP majority leadership. “If this nation goes down the drain and we lose our liberty, I won't blame the opposition party (Democrats). 1 will blame my own Republican Party for not rising in opposition,” Sen.

Sen.
