The Republican-led Senate on Thursday defeated a resolution to remove U.S. forces from hostilities with Iran, in a vote forced by Democrats seeking to highlight fallout from the war in their bid to win back control of Congress.
The resolution failed by a vote of 49 to 50.
The vote came as more Republicans have begun to distance themselves from President Trump over the war, even as others in the party have continued to support it.
Among those speaking out in recent days is Rep. Ashley Hinson, R-Iowa, who is in a tight race for an open Senate seat in her state. In a social media post this week, Hinson wrote, “Iowans are being squeezed and shouldn’t have to foot the bill at the pump or the checkout line for the war in Iran.”
Fetterman strikes again.
Can someone get him the fuck out of there?
As Jesus would have done.
If I’m not mistaken the Crusaders tried to use the ‘just-war’ verse to promote their ‘holy war’.
Just a thought, it wouldn’t be the first time in history that Jesus’ ‘words’ were twisted.
Edit: Romans 13:4 - for he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer.
No Jesus said fuck them.
Ofc fetterman voted no as well. The guy is angling for a job at fox news it seems
Not surprising that Fetterman voted no for this. Of course, if he voted yes, I guarantee that Murkowski, Collins, and Tillis would’ve drawn straws to see which of them was going to vote no, keeping the total 50-49.
