Hopefully a number of these asshole supremacists have a personal run in with COVID-19.

Frankly, I’m actually embarrassed to think that I’m an older white male. It hurts to have anything in common with these perverted excuses for human beings.

Being a Texan this really is disturbing, however, not unexpected. Hell Louie could be a carrier and yet he CHOSE not to self quarantine. That really speaks volumes.

I seriously hope everyone of these members have a Democratic challenger in the Nov. election!

**UPDATED INFO**

Hank Gilbert challenger to Louie Gohmert

Carolyn Salter challenger to Lance Gooden

Adrienne Bell challenger to Randy Weber

Wendy Davis challenger to Chip Roy

Ricardo De La Fuente challenger to Michael Cloud

Rashad Lewis challenger to Brian Babin



WOOHOO, they ALL have challengers and they should run ads declaring that these white "men" all voted against funding to tackle this pandemic.

The entire GOP contingent voted against it. The knuckle-draggers who elected themare fine with their vote, I'm sure.

Surprises me, since Trump had endorsed it and they rarely go against him.
They were probably threatened by the anti-choice people, who have a lot of cash to spend on campaigns.

I'm shocked. SHOCKED I tell you!! Fuck you and the horses you rode in on, Joe Wilson. And, take that mentally ill bag of shit, Jeff Duncan, and those other two assholes with you. Disgusting wastes of human flesh.

I’m skeptical but if there really is a Hell they are all headed there.

I assume many of them are ultra religious but it is BS because they certainly don’t give much weight to its core tenets.

correct me if I am wrong but weren't they (the repubs) trying to get in some abortion restrictions into the bill? I don't think Nancy would let anything like that pass.

And that's what the hold up is about. I don't know what's true or not.

About no federal funds going to places that provide abortion. And they got it. I’m sure they won’t regret making a potentially strained healthcare system even more so.

Now I have to give him a small amount of credit for having at least an ounce of compassion.

At least Ken Buck voted no! Asshole.
