It's as if he were pushed into making this statement under duress. It's brevity and lack of emotional context make it sound forced to me. He wasn't particularly moderate in the House, or even before his stroke, but he's been much more likely to break from his party since he returned from his long absence.

I've never liked Kirk and have always voted against him. He represented my district in the House, so I've followed his votes for years.
