The House very narrowly passed a bill that would beef up Capitol security, because "the Squad" either voted against it (Ayanna Pressley, Cori Bush and Ilhan Omar) or abstained (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib and Jamaal Bowman).
I get that they are strong "defund the police" people. I also get that the bill passed anyway. But what are they doing here? The Capitol Police literally saved their lives. Several of them have complained about feeling threatened by the gun-toting idiots in the GOP caucus, like Marjorie Traitor-Greene and Lauren Boebert. Who do they think is protecting them?
It's possible that leadership allowed this symbolic vote, but it just looks like shit if you're trying to paint the GOP as being unified in opposition to common sense measures surrounding January 6th.
