The speech was powerful, but this guy has voted for everything Commander Cholesterol has wanted. To me, his words seemed hollow.
I vote "Stunt"
I think he's hoping for political gain for a run in 2020. This was him making a campaign commercial when he primaries President Propecia.

(23,758 posts)he should have made this speech in October of 2016, then I would say he's brave. This asshole is not running for re-election so he can spout off now in hopes of saving some sort of reputation even tho he has spent the previous years blindly following and supporting the fucking GOP
