7. Strokes have really had their effect on him.

Talk about a shadow of his former self!

Even when (finally) calling Trump out on a supreme outrage, he couldn’t resist a dig at Joe Biden (pulling out if Afghanistan). McTurtle must realize his physical frailty, and understand that the end of his time in the Senate draws near. If he thinks this speech compensates for the past evil he has wrought on our nation, he is sorely mistaken. However, even though his personal broken clock has stopped very late in the day, he is not wrong here, and his voice coming down on the just side of a crucial matter is welcome.
