VAWA: In the previous Digest, I flagged GOP Rep. Tim Walberg's fraudulent claim that he supported the Violence Against Women Act even though he voted against final passage of the legislation last week. Walberg's claim is pathetically specious: He voted for a poison-pill GOP "alternative" that was DOA before roll was even called, on account of the fact that it deliberately left out protections for LGBT and Native American women. But as I suspected, he's not alone: Indeed, my Daily Kos colleague Kaili Joy Gray has cataloged several other Republicans peddling the same bullshit, including the likes of Steve King and Michele Bachmann! Please stay on high alert for anyone else running this scam, because I suspect the entire GOP is in on this one.

Well, maybe not the whole party, because when you're talking about Republicans, there are always exceptions who need to prove they're even crazier than their brethren. In this case, I'm talking about the 27 members of the House GOP who voted against both bills: the real VAWA and the sham version. Here's a full list of these pieces of work:

AR-04 Tom Cotton
KS-01 Tim Huelskamp
TN-02 Jimmy Duncan
AZ-04 Paul Gosar
KS-04 Mike Pompeo
TN-08 Steve Fincher
AZ-06 David Schweikert
NC-03 Walter Jones
TX-01 Louie Gohmert
CA-04 Tom McClintock
NC-11 Mark Meadows
TX-07 John Culberson
CO-05 Doug Lamborn
NJ-05 Scott Garrett
TX-22 Pete Olson
FL-03 Ted Yoho
OK-01 Jim Bridenstine
TX-36 Steve Stockman
FL-06 Ron DeSantis
OK-02 Markwayne Mullin
WA-04 Doc Hastings
FL-19 Trey Radel
SC-03 Jeff Duncan
WI-05 Jim Sensenbrenner
GA-10 Paul Broun
SD-AL Kristi Noem
WI-06 Tom Petri

There are some real winners on this roster, outcasts like Steve Stockman and Louie Gohmert who live to make John Boehner cry. Unfortunately, though, almost everyone here sits in an untouchably red district—but there are some exceptions worth pointing out. For instance, I spot one actual Senate candidate, Georgia's Paul Broun, who offers Democrats yet another reason to root for him to win the GOP primary. And there's also at least one potential Senate candidate as well, Arkansas's Tom Cotton.

Other notable outliers include Kristi Noem, the only woman on the list, and Scott Garrett, the solitary vote from the northeast. Longtime observers know that Garrett is the most conservative Republican who hails from north of the Mason-Dixon line; he voted against reauthorizing the Voting Rights Act in 2006, for instance. He's proven very difficult to dislodge, but given how far to the right he is, Democrats almost have to find a way to challenge him.

1. I see Arkansas' newest, Tom Cotton, is trying to give Steve Stockman a run for

worst Teabag congressperson of the year.

2. With lots of Indian reservation land in SD, kristi didn't want Native American women

protected from white men. Those white men would be upset if she didn't let them have free rein.

3. She did not want ANY women protected. She voted AGAINST BOTH bills.

I doubt there was much protection for Native American women in the other bill.

4. Jim Senselessbrainer. Big surprise...not.
