The event was hosted by the group Elect Democratic Women, which funneled nearly $2.4 million from AIPAC into congressional races this cycle.
Colour me suprised.
Doesn’t matter, nobody on the GOP side except Massie switched, so this was irrelevant. If he’d had the votes this would be a story. He didn’t.
This is missing the forest for the trees
The issue is not they missed the vote, it’s why they did and what that says more broadly about the party’s capture.
3 of those house members are explicitly on the board of this AIPAC front group, another 5 of them took money this election cycle.
In the first major symbolic vote since the election, these Dems were prostituting themselves for a front group advancing the interests of an ethno supremacist foreign government engaging in a genocide that just helped manipulate our nation into a war and is seeking to re-escalate it.
A perfect diagnosis.
Yes it matter. Fuck anybody who did not vote for the empeechement and anybody who defend them
Actually one Democrats said that there was bad car accident in the area which made them late and Republicans closed vote knowing not everyone was present.
Apparently she was a minute late: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2026/11/11/pete-hegseth-impeachment-congress-traffic-jam/92724473007/
The tweet in this article said another Democrat saw no such thing.
Yes, this obviously was performative, but image matters, and the image they’ve projected is that they support both the genocide and war with Iran.
It is NOT the Democrats fault for being at a Meeting on how we can give MORE TAXPAYER MONEY to Israel INSTEAD of Doing their Jobs protecting Americans! It’s the REPUBLICANS Fault!
-LITERALLY you!
