sure, something about a broken clock right twice a day. But progressive members of the democrats voted with MTG's amendment because no one should be arming a genocidal state during a genocidal campaign to ethnically cleanse the Palestinian people. You care more about optics of not wanting to 'hand it to MTG' over the real experience of Palestinians?

And only just a few democrats voted with MTG here.

This just shows you how pathetic the democrats, except a few members are.

Shame on AOC for voting against this during a genocidal campaign. Absolute shame. She has a lot of explaining to do for her so-called 'progressive' credentials.
