Political Malpractice: Seeking A Vote Knowing Preparation Lacking; Likely Defeat; Was Bipartisanly Defeated. Like Giving A Drunk Another Drink Rather Than Helping Get Sober.
/NO- 260 (including 55 Democrats)
YES- 163 (including 1 Republican)
Why was a controversial amendment relating to the Republic of Cuba submitted without hearings, without bipartisan cosponsors, without impacted exporters, without impacted financial institutions, for an issue that previously received some bipartisan support?
Why was the only sponsor one of the most controversial members of the Democratic Caucus (and United States Congress), a member of “The Squad” (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Jamaal Bowman of New York, and Cori Bush of Missouri)? Even if certain Democrats and Republicans supported the amendment, they would vote no so as not to provide any political value to Ms. Tlaib.
