I thought he was going to "vote his conscience" from now on. Tells me who he is but I already knew.
Also, I think those three are taking turns having two of them vote "no" because they know the bills will pass anyway.

So maybe he wanted to defund.
The PBS cuts will hurt rural America again. Will people wake up?
