I can't believe I'm agreeing with something MTG put forth.

The thing about setting fires to burn things down is that you often cant control what happens after the fire is lit.

If you are agreeing, you are part of the problem. This was essentially a bill to defund the police by taking body cameras away.

Funny, that's not the reason AOC have for not voting for it.

What I was agreeing with was the idea of defending Israel, not whatever was in the bill.

Pretty sure her tweet said that. Taking away iron dome missile and still giving them offensive weapons doesn't help anyone.

I didn't read her tweet just saw video of her saying that the bill DID NOT reduce weapons payments for Israel. But I do admit that, as is often the case, the video I saw was just a snippet and not her full statement.
