Let’s be clear, standing here on the floor, there were two senators — Senator Lee and I — who voted aye, who voted to table the tree and take up the amendment barring funding for Planned Parenthood and barring funds for this catastrophic Iranian nuclear deal. The remaining senators on the Republican side — you had Leader McConnell; you had Whip Cornyn; you had Senator Alexander; you had Senator Cochran — those four senators voted loudly no. It’s still a vote, even thought it’s not a recorded vote. It’s a vote on the Senate floor.”
