@MSNCMan77 @louwbreytenbach @NikkiBarnes Response has nothing to do with what was stated. Did the democrats not spend the entire week messaging to their base that this vote was important for accountability? Did Jeffries state the morning of the vote that the house democrats were a “yes on impeachment”?

[LianRice @LianRicehdem]

@MSNCMan77 @louwbreytenbach @NikkiBarnes Please show me where before the blunder. Lead democrats were messaging that this wasn’t an “impeachment vote”? Major news channels have been playing clips of them saying how important this vote was all day today.

[LianRice @LianRicehdem]

@MSNCMan77 @louwbreytenbach @NikkiBarnes It was open for 30 minutes and they were told in advance when the vote would be. Does it make sense to miss the vote because you were at a happy hour? Or because you were out of town receiving an award? Or because you were filming a TikTok?

[LianRice @LianRicehdem]

Watching the Democrats be massacred in this press release for missing those the vote. Such an unnecessary error.

[TMZ @TMZ]

😬 Rep. Jonathan Jackson told @hicharliecotton he couldn't wait another day to impeach Pete Hegseth... but somehow couldn't take a few more steps to the House floor for a vote.

[LianRice @LianRicehdem]

@MSNCMan77 @louwbreytenbach @NikkiBarnes Instead of voting a literal elected official decided to film a TikTok instead of voting. I mean even the GOP couldn’t make something that up. How insane.

[LianRice @LianRicehdem]

This is insane. One of the reps that missed the vote was on the steps filming a social media video about the vote!!! Wow

[CHARLIE COTTON @hicharliecotton]

did democrats purposely tank the hegseth impeachment vote?

i have evidence.

[LianRice @LianRicehdem]

@WakeupP91889135 @MSNCMan77 @louwbreytenbach @NikkiBarnes I guess

[LianRice @LianRicehdem]

@holybullies The bots being Hakeem Jeffries on my 10am news? They messaged that this vote was important. Y’all coming out and saying that people shouldn’t have taken them seriously and should’ve looked into the nuance that leadership failed to bring up is not a winning argument for them

[LianRice @LianRicehdem]

@PLSgetserious Idk could have something to do with the fact that they got stuck in traffic coming back from a fucking cocktail hour with an AIPAC funded org.

[LianRice @LianRicehdem]

@TGatsby21 @cmclymer @Emmceebee23 That’s literally the majority of Americans. The majority of people who have dems their decisive win for the midterms had no idea about how congress works. What they do understand is messaging, PR and stories that break through the noise. And this one is breaking through.

[LianRice @LianRicehdem]

@BourgaultGilles @jamesetta_w It doesn’t matter. They are the ones that signaled to their base that this was an important vote. I literally watched jeffries on the news yesterday morning talking about it. It was their talking points. Their messaging. They set the expectation. And failed to meet it.

[LianRice @LianRicehdem]

@MSNCMan77 @louwbreytenbach @NikkiBarnes So after a week of elected officials on the news and socials telling me/the base how important this vote was to start holding the admin accountable for the war it’s actually voters faults for not understanding that what they actually meant was that the vote was meaningless

[LianRice @LianRicehdem]

Based on talking points - Dems spent last week telling their base this was an “impeachment vote” and key to holding the admin accountable for this war. Now it’s voters’ fault for thinking it was, in fact, an impeachment vote and key to holding the admin accountable for this war?

[LianRice @LianRicehdem]

@djoyousone @escobar88754 @NikkiBarnes It is a sign of weak leadership to spend time and energy messaging to their base how important this “impeachment vote” was only to miss it because some members were late coming from a cocktail hour with donors. An AIPAC funded org no less.

[LianRice @LianRicehdem]

@djoyousone @escobar88754 @NikkiBarnes Well this is reality and the fact is an overwhelming majority of Americans do not understand the process. All politicians know this and it’s why the dems have been on the news and on socials messaging their ass off about this being an “impeachment vote” they set the expectation.

[LianRice @LianRicehdem]

@eternallyRaq Stuck in traffic because they were at a cocktail hour with donors no less. Even if it was going to fail anyway the least you could do is show up after messaging to your base how important this vote was.

[LianRice @LianRicehdem]

@Pretefunkera @NikkiBarnes 🙄

[LianRice @LianRicehdem]

@escobar88754 @djoyousone @NikkiBarnes I’m truly flabbergasted at some of these argument lol the average American is not on twitter and part of the 24hr news cycle, they are not reading the impeachment articles and fully rely on news that breaks through to them/messaging. My normie mom texted me about this.
