16. Every one of these seven Democratic "yea" voters should be ashamed.
Thu Jun 19, 2025, 08:04 AM
Jun 2025

I am especially dismayed that Andy Kim of NJ was one of them. I have a lot of respect for Kim; he was the person who was on their hands and knees cleaning floors in the U.S. Capitol after hours when the J6 insurrectionists trashed the building.

I am not surprised in the least that Fetterman was one of them. He needs to be primaried when he is up for re-election.

I am proud of the senators from my state. Senators Alsobrooks and VanHollen both voted “nay”.

Every single one of Trump’s moronic picks should have been rejected. Noem, Hegseth, RFKjr. and McMahon are especially egregious.
