The only member of the House to vote against honoring Liu Xiaobo, who has suffered in pursuit of bringing freedom to China.
And no, he doesn’t oppose honorary legislation in general. He voted in favor of honoring Juan “Chi Chi” Rodriguez for his contribution to Latino youth programs. In fact, that vote was just the other day. More recently he’s voted for other legislation in a similar vein. So that’s not the problem.
