Yeah, I hope he has an explanation that will have us cheering him on. But as it is, I can see this as fodder for some ugly campaign commercials.
There is absolutely NO reason for this to be anything of the sort. Anyone in public office should regroup and gather their values, what they believe in, reaffirm their faith, whatever he is doing. And with the session closed, there is no reason for him not to do this. Gov.’s leave states all the time, and are never available 24/7. They are available within an hour or two, via messaging. I am surprised that so many are thinking the worst here.
