There is nothing wrong with wanting to hold dems accountable for showing up to do their jobs, even if you don’t believe voting to defer matters right now. We have multiple members saying they were inconvenienced by traffic, it’s embarrassing.
@allsofakehappy The amount of people blindly defending dems because the impeachment vote would’ve failed if the motion passed is baffling. That’s not what matters
@Rayrod22 Now we don’t have any Republicans on record for condemning or defending Hegseth. It was getting reintroduced no matter what the outcome yesterday was. That’s not what it’s about.
I know he wouldn’t have been removed. That’s not what the vote was for. It would force the Senate to vote and put Republicans on record as either condemning or defending Hegseth. The articles were messy and don’t matter since new ones will be introduced. Now the white house has a pretend win which unfortunately DOES matter. I’m not uneducated on this, and for you to assume so because we have different perspectives is silly.
@TheMissingCake@AAfeCC111 I understand your point but they need to show up to vote. It’s their job. We should want them showing up even if it’s “pointless”. Also why are they getting looney tunes trolled today. This is wild.
Tonight, House Republicans used a procedural motion to kill the impeachment of Pete Hegseth, by referring it to the Judiciary Committee.
Like other Members of Congress, Rep. Stansbury was blocked from entering the Capitol to vote due a traffic incident and a police escort of a bus during the vote. When she reached the chamber the vote had just gaveled out. She immediately filed a report of her vote of “NO” to the motion meant to kill the impeachment articles and refer them to the Judiciary Committee, as documented in the Congressional Record.
Pete Hegseth must be impeached now.
