[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Since you seem to be very up on this bill, perhaps you could just share that information with us. Tell us why the majority are not on board at this point. I can guarantee you, though, that I won't criticize Crenshaw for not doing enough to fight terrorism of any kind.

Is there opposition to the bill?  I doubt Crenshaw is opposed to it.  AOC was likely looking for something to pin on him.  Has the bill been brought to the floor yet?

I don't know if there is; Jeff can fill us in. 142 House members are co-sponsors. It has not been brought to the floor yet, and co-sponsoring isn't necessary to support it. Jeff, like AOC, is suggesting that since Crenshaw isn't co-sponsoring it, he's not supporting the 9/11 victims. [/quote]

See this article to which I linked earlier:

https://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/ny-texas-republican-ilhan-omar-fdny-firefighter-attack-20190411-qs7sbccinbd4zhirps2d7g6wpm-story.html

"A retired FDNY firefighter who survived 9/11 said Thursday he was recently snubbed by Dan Crenshaw..."

"But the Republican lawmaker claimed he was “too busy” and said his office would reach out, according to Serra.
Two weeks later, Serra hasn’t heard from Crenshaw, who has yet to throw his support behind renewing the VCF."

“He really didn’t want to talk to us,” Serra, 39, told The News over the phone. “He said he didn’t have any information and that his staff would take care of it.”
