GOP Pro Putin Wing

As reported by MSNBC March 20

It seemed like the sort of resolution that could pass the House unanimously. Democratic Rep. Susan Wild of Pennsylvania championed a measure that condemned Russia’s “illegal kidnapping” of Ukrainian children. As The Atlantic’s Anne Applebaum noted, it’s an ongoing crisis: “The kidnapping and brainwashing of Ukrainian children is Putin’s cruelest crime.”

The bill was symbolic — it merely reflected the will of members — and it didn’t commit the United States to actually do anything or spend any money. There was no reason for even the most ardent far-right critics of Ukraine to balk.

When the resolution reached the House floor last night, it passed easily. The vote was not, however, without opponents. A total of nine House Republicans — and zero House Democrats — voted against it:

  1. Andy Biggs of Arizona
  2. Eric Burlison of Missouri
  3. Warren Davidson of Ohio
  4. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia
  5. Clay Higgins of Louisiana
  6. Thomas Massie of Kentucky
  7. Matt Rosendale of Montana
  8. Chip Roy of Texas
  9. Tom Tiffany of Wisconsin

To be sure, it’s tough to understand why these GOP members voted against the measure, even knowing in advance that it would pass, though I suppose it could’ve been worse.

  1. If she wanted to devise a system to root out the most ardent nazi cocksuckers in the house, then this must surely be it.
    MTG is dripping with evil, so no surprise there.
    Has anyone heard of any of the others?
    The security services should surely be investigating their finances, investments, bank accounts, social media, phone records, travel history, friends, business associates etc.
    These are well-paid public servants that are nevertheless willing to demonstrate their loyalty to a genocidal nazi regime.
    Incredible!

  2. I simply can’t figure out how some in the GOP could possibly be so evil. Will their voters take note of their deplorable behavior with dread, or are they just as sick?
