Democrat Backtracks After Voting To Give ICE $10 Billion

"I hear the anger from my constituents, and I take responsibility for that," moderate Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-N.Y.) said on Monday.

Saying you failed and apologizing now is worthless.

Primary this guy and the other six that voted for this. None of these guys are people that we should be tolerating in the Democratic party with this kind of morality, callousness for human life, and such short sighted vision.

    Jeffries didn’t “whip” the bill, allowing moderates and front-line Democrats to vote their conscience, including Henry Cuellar (Texas), Vicente Gonzalez (Texas), Laura Gillen (N.Y.), Jared Golden (Maine), Marie Glusenkamp Perez (Wash.), Don Davis (N.C.), and Tom Suozzi (N.Y.).

    Jeffries also had a part in it.

      Not whipping the bill to expose the worst democrats may have been a blessing. The bills don’t cut ICE funding, so they make little difference. However, those incumbents ironically gave their constituents more ammo to primary them the fuck out.
