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.

    that aint happenin, the loyalty trump demands of his ppl is a double edged sword, if he goes under they go with him. Some second grade ppl will try to cling onto by pretending trump was never the driving force but they are doomed to fail. If trump goes under the reps are done for for a while.

      Please stop this wishful thinking. I’ve been hearing this shit for over 4 decades! Oh just wait till Regan is gone! Oh after Bush they are done! Oh after two illegal wars they are done! Oh after Trump 1 they are done for sure! Oh after the pandemic they are done! Oh after the old go away they are done! Now we’re back to oh after Trump goes away they are done.

      These morons are NOT going away. They will vote in lockstep with whatever asshole the GOP produces next and mark my words after Trump worse is coming, because with the GOP it always gets worse.

      GOP are either dumb enough to try or just smart enough to know it’s their only option. While I agree with your assessment of the facts I still think the GOP is trying to have its cake and eat it to with regards to getting rid of trump while keeping his base.

      If they can walk this tightrope until ICE finishes establishing themselves as the national gestapo… they might be able to keep the MAGA train rolling after trump kicks the bucket.
