So he has zero interest in the day-to-day aspects of the job, the “performative” votes, interactions with fellow Dems, and won’t do town hall meetings with the constituents he supposedly represents because someone might challenge him on these issues… but he thinks he’s still worth the salary *we* are paying him to have daddy-daughter time and resents any suggestion that refusing to be there to do his job are simply attacks on his mental health issues?
