What the hell is this??




The man has been in the senate/house of reps three times as long as Hillary. Color me shocked his numbers are higher. OMG.

He did not introduce that number - he co-sponsored legislation in that amount along with a bunch of other people. He sponsored only 781 and if you look at them, most of the bills did not pass, and some amendments did.

lolol Three of his sponsored bills became law. THREE
