“Compromise”? Hold on a sec…
What compromise? Did Coons agree to something?

What part of that was a compromise?
— Bored_In_America (@Bored_In_USA) September 29, 2018
"compromise"
What exactly did Flake get and Coons concede in this "compromise"? https://t.co/mfU8OXNdgL

Great question.
Yesterday Senator Chris Coons made a SCOTUS hearing about how much beer someone drank in high school. Today, he and @JeffFlake play Twister on 60 Minutes. https://t.co/UtPLmK2lOB

This just goes to show that this was a politically motivated stunt. Politicians just seeking the light to become the "heros" of a cause. https://t.co/hSUk5RYZKD
