“I heard some hissing and I saw about eight to 10 of my Republican colleagues walk out angrily as they were announced as police officers from the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6,” state Rep. Arvind Venkat (D) said in a phone interview Thursday. “I was shocked and appalled,” he added. According to Venkat, the commotion lasted about five minutes.
That’s so disgraceful. Why don’t they boo service members who fought and died to defend this country, just like those officers?
Republicans do that kind of thing too.
Those stupid fuckers are going to lose the military vote that has been theirs for decades. I already saw a massive difference in political stance between the 90’s and the 2010’s (could be due to primarily working with enlisted in the 90’s and officers in 10’s) and it’s really only a razor thin veil of ignorance that keeps them believing republicans take take their side more than democrats. That veil is going to break.
Republicans honor sacrifice by making sure it’s big. They’ll send you to war and complain about VA costs.
