I doubt they give a shit either way about sick people. But, as has been pointed out in other posts, this is straight out of the Trump "Look at me!" playbook. It gets people talking about their antics, instead of on the good economic news, the success of the vaccination program, and all the other good news coming out of the Biden administratsion--as well as distracting from all the mass shootings and black men being killed by cops.

I'm not snarking. Why would they vote against this?

I'm not asking if they had a good reason. What was their stated reason?

What possible reason could they have for voting against this, other than to be controversial and stir up shit?

Not sure about Greene. This isn't about the bone marrow program. This is about trying to draw attention to themselves, and away from other things.

Quintessential 'shit-posters'.

To call them attention whores would be insulting to sex workers that provide a valuable service.

Since when did we start electing ignoramuses?

Was the Tea Party the genesis of the uninformed candidate who would be the anti-government that assuredly needed no experience or intelligence to tear down instead of build up? Certainly the class of 2020 takes it up a notch. Soon Louis Gohmert will be known as the brains of the GOP.
