A member of the House didn’t cast a proxy vote for a fellow congressman on the Democrat-backed $1.9 billion Capitol security spending bill because it slipped his mind, according to a spokesperson.
A spokesperson for Rep. Ken Calvert (R-Calif.) told Just the News that “Calvert had been voting by proxy” for Rep. John Carter (R-Texas) “throughout the week” before the vote was held. It came just days after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) extended the COVID-19 vote-by-proxy mandate for several more weeks, which was criticized by Republicans.
The check is in the mail.
I was born at night Kenny boy, but it wasn't last night.
Excellent - run the clock out til 2022. Plus, another RAT rep is in the hospital for a week - not sure if she’s voting or not.
Someone should have told him that sugar was going to be banned if the bill passed.
F*** that traitor.
Lying POS pinko scumbag!
Diet soda.
Doubt word of a sugar ban would have the same motivational force as the threat of losing the one thing he leans on to salve his smarting conscience over caloric intake.
More proof that the GOP and dems are two sides of the same coin. Not that we needed any more proof after the last elections.
Interesting toupe.
Doesn’t matter, if he had voted Nanzi would have found the one more vote she needed.
Then he’s beyond incompetent and ought to resign.
Peter Griffin resides in Congress
Traitor fatass
His constituents need to hang this around his neck and force him into a line of work where it doesn’t place as much demand on ability to focus and follow through. I’m thinking a career in mattress testing.
“because it slipped his mind”
The issue is what was slipped in his pocket.
“Duh...I forgot.” In the real world that gets you fired. In Congress it gets you rich.
Probably too drunk to remember to vote.
Forgot, yeah OK, the dog ate it, it fell in the well. California Republican, sure.
Don’t these people have aides?
