The GOP chair was caught off guard and scrambled—first delaying the vote, then trying to sabotage it by adding amendments to include Biden administration communications. Democrats called their bluff and agreed.
Then the GOP chair, Rep. Higgins, lied, claiming the motion FAILED until Rep. Robert Garcia forced a full roll call vote.
Ultimately, the vote passed 8-2 after 3 Republicans DEFIED their leadership and joined all 5 Democrats to pass the motion.
There is no triumph here.
I put in a small amount of actual effort and came up with the actual vote in question directly from congress. https://www.congress.gov/event/119th-congress/house-event/118526?s=3&r=3
Here is the entire vote and all surrounding context. The supposed “lie” about the vote count is either made up for engagement bait by whatever anonymous jaggoff still trolls x on their call to activism account, or more cynically, is run by a professional troll trying to intentionally bury the lede about nancy mace defining the word “credible” in relation to her own ethos and the democrats feckless attempt to prevent her from neutering their surprise 11th hour hail mary.

I was accused of putting too much effort to not understand this. Fuck y’all lazy punkass no-account scrubs I aint gonna try to pull your heads out your asses no more, good luck with all that shit.
Can you help me understand Motion #2 by Mace? I was lead to believe that “credible” wording didn’t stick, but it sounds like you’re saying it actually did? If so, then yeah it leaves a lot open to being left out of the subpoena on that one word alone.
Hey, you’re right! That amendment got struck down! With all the back-and-forth in that video I must have lost track. Good check, thanks!
