Thank you for explaining that.
I, too, am somewhat taken aback at the number of FReepers who are on his case cause he’ll be walking his daughter down the aisle.
Come on, now.
It’s not just *Going to a “party”*
It’s his daughter’s wedding and he had no control over the date the vote was set for.
I also wish he had been able tobe there to vote, but life happens sometimes.
His daughter's wedding is NOT more important than this nation!
I'm shocked and appalled by you and your ilk, who are posting like lefties...all soppy FEELINGS and emotion and no brains/intellect/sense of duty!
I think some people criticizing may be too young or have otherwise never been directly involved in planning a wedding. I was a best man once and, even though it was a small wedding, the logistics required were monumental.
I’ve seen some people here suggest for the president to fly the whole party in to one of his hotels and move the venue. This is the kind of Disney-like magical thinking that leads to defeat. Life does not work that way. Everything about such an idea is completely juvenile and demonstrates complete ignorance of how even the smallest aspects of such an event work.
Accommodating this wedding is exactly what every reasonable senator would do. It is certainly what a pro-life, pro-family party should do. Too bad the naysayers here don’t even have the common sense to keep their mouths shut about something they obviously know very little about.
