<i>"I think it’s wrong to compromise your values to fit in with the social climate in Washington"</i>

It's not a "social climate", it's the Senate of the United States of America where he would represent the citizens of Colorado -- all of them, even the ones who didn't vote for him.

However, if we reach the point where legislators only represent the people who voted for them, we could fairly call that "taxation without representation" which the British tried back in the olde days.
