172 Republicans voted against Violence against women act

They voted against the stimulus and now this...and it’s because they know nothing will happen to them and they will get re-elected in their MAGA districts... their constituents vote against their own self interest just as long as “the others” suffer

We need to find ten. Astounding that this could be a heavy lift.

It would be shameful, but they don't have a sense of shame, either.

Lizards are mostly ovoviviparous, so not only have mothers, they should recognize them as such.

I wish I could get to the point where things like this don't surprise me or piss me off. But I suspect I just never will. They always seem to go lower than I would ever imagine. Thanks for the info.

Woman hating abuser trash republicans.

They voted against it probably they like to beat up women ,dominate and use them and throw them away.

I don't trust republicans and with this vote proves to me what they are,abusive men who want to get away with abusing women.

GOP tolerate women only so far as women breed more GOPers, preferably boys, and cook and clean, and obey, and prop their tiny...egos up to make them feel like the big men they are not.

Primaries and general elections too. Races large and small; local, state, and national. Hang it around their necks and make ‘em wear it day and night. Relentlessly.

NO mercy!

NONE.
