Something is causing this. This did not happen in a vacuum.
It may be indicative of a state that is about to implode, or it may be that he’s on heavy meds.

Downstate Illinois (anything not Chicago or its surrounding suburbs) has been ruled by Chicago for decades. First economically, in more recent times politically, and very recently it’s been out in the open. The resentment from Downstate has been lurking below the surface all the while, and now that the state’s situation is getting critical, they’re finally getting P.O.’d...albeit a bit late.
This Rep was furious that he was essentially being pushed to vote “blind” on a bill, without being given the chance to study it.
