In Ilhan Omar (MN-05) and Cori Bush (MO-01). They voted with Gaetz, MTG, Gosar, Biggs, etc. etc.

What a group to vote with. 😬
So US oil, coal (Manchin) & gas is bad but RU is ok?
Is that what the message here is?
Can someone please explain?
I'll wait...

I'm actually hoping Samuels does get our nod for the seat with this fall's elections.

Omar's actions are perplexing on Russia and Ukraine, and her outspoken anti-police attitude and gift soundbites to the right are just not good for us overall.

If we're talking about Omar; equating the US with the Taliban, pushing the "dual loyalty" trope about members of Congress, trivializing 9/11, blaming Israel for everything under the sun, etc.
Always quick to walk them back with he usual "if I offended anyone..." apology.
She gets the clips she wants & the support from those who buy it.

No bill is perfect. They voted with the worst of the rightwing worst. They are only making themselves look bad.

And we also need to give assurances to domestic producers that new refineries will be allowed to operate in the future.

being made to look like a total legislative hero. There is no excuse for this vote against banning Russian coal, oil and natural gas. Other Democrats should ask her why she did this.

Fame can be addicting. And trying to maximize it it can alter how you perform
