I'd love it if a senator came out in said, "In light of Sens. Duckworth and Hirono's pledge, I plan to do the exact opposite." Don't elaborate at all on on what you mean. Years later when accused of homophobia or racism claim what you meant was you were going to vote based solely on merit and not take into account race or sexual degeneracy at all. Meanwhile, you vote against every person who is not a straight and White.
