61 Democrats voted against a resolution condemning violence against police officers and calls to defund police departments across the country. All Republicans voted for the bill, which passed 337 to 61, with 134 Democratic “yes” votes.
Then there’s the far-left.
From Fox News:
The resolution text indirectly cited the summer 2020 protests, arguing “respect for the rule of law and law enforcement officials diminished” since then.
It appeared to go after progressive policies that critics have panned as soft-on-crime, claiming “policies implemented at several state and local jurisdictions have increased the difficulty and added significant risks for law enforcement to do their jobs effectively and safely.”
The legislation also knocked a “lack of accountability for violent criminals with decreased penalties and no-bail policies,” which it said “has opened the door for record criminal activity in cities across the country.”
Rep. Pete Stauber, R-Minn., who led the resolution, said in support of the measure on the House floor Friday morning, “If you had asked me a few years ago if my children should become law enforcement officers, I would’ve undoubtedly said yes. But after these last few years, observing the treatment of law enforcement officers, I would have to think twice about my answer.”
Here are the squad and squad-adjacent House Reps who voted “No.”
