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.
They even fucking lied?
I’m not holding my breath but I’m really hoping that will help maga chuds clue in that the GOP are wholly dishonest.

It’s in the hands of r/conspiracy now…
They don’t care they just want to “win”.
Actually they just want to “own the libs”. They’ll all scream to have the Epstein files released if you hint that AOC might be in there.
I am puzzled by your incredulousness.
I am perplexed by your puzzlement.
This is unsurprising.
But forcing a recorded count does get those Republican Nays on record so they can be punished later.
