95 House Democratic Traitors, more like.

The one who is Trans Rep is the one that tugs me the most here. You now have a motivated group after this assassination, who is now branding your group as 'terrorist' and assuming now transgenders are mass-shooters. Yet you're voting to honor the legacy?

I don't understand this stance about what integrity and honor that there is, to co-exist with bigoted people like that, who work against your interests. Do you think this is going to alleviate things? No, it won't. They'll be calling for your head next, McBride, hope you feel dumb about this.

Eh. Maybe she’s just trying to keep the peace. From what I understand she’s had some success in keeping anti trans legislation at bay in her jurisdiction. It could be she feels that making a stink over Charlie now would make things worse.

Not that I agree, it just must be tough being an openly trans public figure. Right hates her no matter what, left expects perfection since she’s so visible. Hard to criticize her over this

Appeasing your oppressors doesn't make you a hero
