No amount of whitewashing is going to fix that. Almost half of them in-fact celebrate it.

    Check the totals, wasn’t even close.

    Here is how these things work:

    Congressmen are not completely stupid, with 3 or 5 notable exceptions. The GOP knew they were losing this vote. They didn’t try to pass anything. Hell, many, maybe most, either don’t care or don’t even want the cursed thing back.

    This is pure virtue signaling for their constituents. How many of the GOP “nay” votes do you figure are solid seats with no chance of getting primaried? How many “yea” voters were worried about being called out in a campaign ad? Be interesting to analyze.

    As to what that says about GOP voters, go nuts in the comments and remember to like and subscribe.
