TLDR: “Republicans Still Shameless”

In all fairness…the second tweet isn’t really taking credit for the program. She is simply informing her constituents that it is there for them unlike Pence. We need to be fair about that (not that the GOP would bother with that)

Twitter should institute a “full disclosure” rule and add a comment to these kinds of tweets, such as: “Rep. Pence voted against this legislation in an attempt to prevent these benefits from being available.”

I dont know…I still think Rep Van Duyne is essentially doing her job for her constituents. Even if she voted no, it’s now the law of the land and she should inform them thus. I feel certain that there are plenty of people who will point out she didn’t vote for it, unlike Sen Rick Scott who would insist they give the money back.

“One entry comes courtesy of a lawmaker with a rather high-profile sibling: Rep. Greg Pence (R-IN), brother of former Vice President Mike Pence.”
Fun Fact: The fly on Greg’s head is a brother of the fly on Mike’s head.

I agree and we largely want the constituents of these people to feel government working when a Democratic president is in the whitehouse.
This is good campaign add fodder though. Run screen caps of the tweets, talk about the good, and then the voting record against them or the whole party. “Not a single Republican from Kansas voted for money for schools and police…”

We don’t need to be fair. We need to win and only win. Our Democracy depends on it.
We need to be about as fair to Republicans as the Allies were to the Nazis on D Day.

Republicans’ behavior re COVID is like the Germans claiming humanitarian impulses with the Potemkin concentration camp of Theresienstadt, which they allowed the Red Cross to inspect. Of course, once the inspectors left, the arts and crafts were stored away, and the killing resumed.
And if anyone thinks that is over the top, the vast majority of our nearly 600,000 dead were unnecessary, but for Republican sabotage.

We can give them a fair trial. How about that?

When someone does their job (even if it is in a very small way) I don’t think that is worthy of complaint. If more of them would just do their job for their constituents, there wouldn’t be such animosity…but Democrats as a whole do it a lot more than Republicans.
