Yes he is.

He might be less enthusiastic than the others, but any leader who is not clearly and directly rejecting Trump as a treasonous criminal is under his thumb. SNL had the right take.

And by retiring from leadership before doing it, he’s now lost his chance to do it. He supported the man until the end of his career and now his career ends. Same as Romney, it’s now too late to make amends.

My point isn’t that he’s a good guy. I’m saying that he’s not Tom Cotton, and if you don’t think that’s a meaningful difference, you don’t pay much attention to the Senate.
