Not deffending him, but by GOP standards he really is (low bar, I know). He supported the PRO Act, the Infrastructure Act, voted to codify Roe V Wade, codify legal birth control, codify gay marriage, voted to ban assault weapons, I could go on. He is my Representitive and I will be voting for Ashley Eshaz in November, but the man is far from radical. Our criticisms of him and the GOP need to be based in fact if we want to oust them.

He also never voted to impeach Trump and did not vote in favor of establishing a committee to investigate 1/6. He may not be extremist with kitchen table issues, but he certainly doesn't have the guts to stand up to the fascists in his party.

He did vote in favor of establishing the Jan 6 committee. One of 35 Republicans to do so.

Oh I was only thinking of the second vote with that.

On June 30, 2021, the resolution, H.Res. 503 Establishing the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol, passed on the House floor by a vote of 222 to 190, with all Democratic members and two Republican members, Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney, voting in favor.18l sixteen Republican members did not vote. The resolution empowered Pelosi to appoint eight members to the committee, and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy could appoint five members "in consultation' with the Speaker.

The article points out his bad votes on LGBTQ issues. Yes, the average score from the rest of the Republicans in PA was like 1, lol. He didn't vote to codify Roe. But isn't it insane that we live in a country where birth control is now under attack. lol
