Well, the massive omnibus spending bill has passed the U.S. Senate, with Republicans rolling over to give it a 68 to 29 margin of victory. So if you thought Republicans were going to stand up against this huge overreach, it wasn’t even remotely the case. Lots of them voted in favor of this Democrat wishlist.
This disaster includes a ban on border spending and a raise for the corrupt FBI and DOJ, among other ridiculous giveaways for leftist pet projects.
These are the Republicans who ignored you: Roy Blunt of Missouri, John Boozman of Arkansas, Shelley Capito of West Virginia, Susan Collins of Maine, John Cornyn of Texas, Tom Cotton of Arkansas, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, James Inofe of Oklahoma, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Jerry Moran of Kansas, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Rob Portman of Ohio, Mitt Romney of Utah, Mike Rounds of South Dakota, Richard Shelby of Alabama, John Thune of South Dakota, Roger Wicker of Mississippi, Todd Young of Indiana.
