So she’s a Republican?
I don’t know what point you’re trying to make here.
If the personality of the person intruducing an amendement matters then AOC would never vote with any Republican, right?
MTG’s problematic aspect isn’t her being a Republican. It’s not even that she’s a particularly bad person (she is). The perceived motivation for this messaging bill is antisemitism. This is Jewish space lasers lady.
So? Her bill is about cutting off money for weapons to Israel not Jewish space lasers.
4 real progressives voted yes.
I suppose you could pretend that context and pretext simply don’t exist. Poll taxes were just about raising money and English only laws are about government standardization.
I’m also not of the opinion that the people voting for it made a heinous choice either. They were just willing to take questions about MTG’s antisemitism in exchange for a minor messaging vote. Nothing anyone did here is important. AOC has put out statements much more critical of Israel than being vote 7 on a muddled messaging bill.
AOC is voting to send weapons to a genocide here. You deem that optically worse than voting for an amendement against it because the person who filed the amendement is antisemitic?
AOC is literally enabling genocide with this act.
