The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill nearly unanimously Tuesday that will toughen sanctions on Russia and make it harder for President Donald Trump to ease the sanctions against Moscow.

The bill passed 419-3, making it one of the more lopsided votes you’ll see in the lower chamber where Republicans and Democrats both agree on something. Every legislator from Tennessee voted for the bill except one: Knoxville’s John J. Duncan Jr.

The bill comes amid growing scrutiny by Congress and a special prosecutor of possible links between Russian officials and the Trump campaign. The bill aims to strengthen sanctions on Russia for its alleged meddling in the 2016 presidential campaign.

The bill punishes Russia for meddling in the U.S. presidential elections and for its military aggression in Ukraine and Syria. Russia has not done enough to implement a cease-fire in eastern Ukraine, where Russian-backed separatists are fighting government troops, according to the State Department. The bill also targets Iran and North Korea for their illicit ballistic missile programs and support for terrorism.

In a statement, Duncan said he had an issue with putting additional sanctions on all three powers.

“Overall, though I think we should stop trying to rule the whole world,” he said. “We are $20 trillion in debt, and we have enough problems at home.”

Tennessee Democratic Party Chairwoman Mary Mancini said Duncan is sending the wrong message with his no vote.

"It is frightening to know that Rep. Duncan has no interest in protecting the integrity of our elections," she said in an emailed statement. "Every U.S. intelligence agency agrees the Russian government interfered in the 2016 elections, an attack on the foundation of our democracy. Rep. Duncan is sending a message to the rest of the world that there is no consequence for attacking the United States."

Russia

“The increased sanctions against Russia were based on alleged meddling in our presidential election. However, if they did, it was totally ineffective, and Russia has aided us recently in the fight against ISIS and reaching a cease-fire in Syria,” he said.

Iran

“I had voted to place the original sanctions against Iran, but I did not think that they should have been expanded because our own State Department has certified twice in the last few months that Iran had complied with the terms of the nuclear agreement, and I just did not think we should slap them in the face when they are doing what we wanted them to do.”

North Korea

“I voted twice to put tough sanctions on North Korea, even though most of the time sanctions do not hurt the ruling elite in any country but usually really hurt the poor people. However, the nutty ruler of North Korea has already hurt his own poor people as much as possible by spending most of that government’s money on bombs, weapons and other military equipment.”
