The GOP chair was caught off guard and scrambled—first delaying the vote, then trying to sabotage it by adding amendments to include Biden administration communications. Democrats called their bluff and agreed.
Then the GOP chair, Rep. Higgins, lied, claiming the motion FAILED until Rep. Robert Garcia forced a full roll call vote.
Ultimately, the vote passed 8-2 after 3 Republicans DEFIED their leadership and joined all 5 Democrats to pass the motion.
I was saying it, or at least thinking it. Colour me pleasantly surprised.
If there’s anything the two parties should be able to “reach across the aisle” to get done, I would hope a bipartisan pedo purge would be it.
