These translators risked their lives to help Americans save our troops lives. I hope they rethink this now that Afghanistan has fallen. This will leave themselves and their families at risk.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

1. I agree

[MustLoveBeagles]

2. I like The Squad but they're wrong about this

The translators need our help.

[sheshe2]

3. I hope none of the translators ...

I hope none of the translators will have to hide in a closet in fear of being raped. They now stand alone and don't have a Capital Police to protect them.

Yes the bill passed. Their symbolic vote?

5. The Squad was Wrong about this, too.. TCP Deserve Better!

8. Can anyone tell me why.....

"The Squad" voted against the money for the Capitol Police? I was not aware of it and don't understand it.

[sheshe2]

11. No one understands it.

They have their own team.

4. Some things are unforgivable...

... no matter how contrived the justification may be.

[sheshe2]

9. Yes, contrived.

Their vote didn't matter because it would pass anyway? They stood in unity, all 4 of them against the capitol police that risked their lives and own mental health to save them and those like them. They voted against the interpreters who risked their lives saving American lives, male and female.

Frankly I don't know what any of them stand for anymore. I had high hopes for Pressley. No more.

16. Actually the original four plus the two elected last year. All six voted against the bill....

In fact none of the six voted for the first iteration of the bill that was sent to the Senate. Three voted "Nay" and three voted "Present". That bill passed by one vote.

All other Democrats voted for it, all republicans voted against it. Had even one of the 210+ Democrats gotten stuck in traffic or had not been able to vote for some reason, the vote would have tied and the bill would have failed.

[sheshe2]

17. Three voted "present"

Presents that we are about to receive. Amen?

People died.

[NurseJackie]

18. These types of theatrical showboating stunts...

... only serve to undermine Biden and Democratic unity.

[mcar]

6. I can't see any excuse for this

They knew we'd be pulling out. This is really awful.

[Cha]

7. So.. How about "Saving" the Afghanistan

Translators' LIVES?

And, the Capitol Police's Lives & the Congress People's Lives?

Yes, an Excellent day to remind us of what was said then and what's happening right now.

[sheshe2]

10. A team vote.

I am embarrassed for them. They made a political stand. It was the wrong stand.

[Cha]

12. Yeah.. So Grateful Shontel Brown WON

Ohio!

[sheshe2]

13. No kidding, Cha.

She is a keeper and will do us proud.

[Cha]

14. Yeah, you know Shootel would have Voted

to help the Capitol Police & Afghanistan Translators.
