What's their reasoning though?

I think it goes something like this: "If I vote against Russia's interests, Putin might release some of the abundant kompromat he has on me."

To prove to the other Republicans that their voters don't care at all, they can just do whatever they want and will still get re-elected.

I tried checking their Facebooks but none had mentioned this bill.

Using congress to “condemn” things is ineffective virtue signaling.
