[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]The media made a big dean when 11% voted “uncommitted” against Biden for supporting Israel. If there is a similar or bigger protest vote against Raskin for opposing Israel and Ukraine aid, it is also a story [/quote]

Raskin did not oppose Ukraine aid. He supported it.

NY Times indicates he voted no on the whole package https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/04/20/us/politics/ukraine-israel-foreign-aid-vote.html[/quote]

The article you link to shows that he voted yes on aid to Ukraine.[/quote]

As I understand it, I could be wrong, it says that Raskin voted yes in principle to aid for Ukraine, but voted no to the actual funding package…so he (like Gaetz and Boebert) voted at the end of the day against funding[/quote]

Yes, you're wrong. Read the article you posted.[/quote]

Re-read it. Says Raskin voted against “Rule (whole pakage)”[/quote]

He voted against it because it also would’ve funded efforts to secure the border. That’s why he voted “no”. His problem wasn’t with funding Ukraine, it was with doing anything to slow down millions of illegal immigrants from flooding into the country.

Democrats are pinning their hopes of million of votes from illegal aliens who’ve registered to vote and will be provided with mail in ballots. The funding bill Raskin voted against would’ve helped to stem the flow of them into out country. That’s why he voted against it. Not Ukraine. [/quote]
