The 17 lawmakers who voted against the Russian oil ban
The Hill ^ | 03/10/22 08:33 AM EST | LEXI LONAS -

Posted on 03/10/2022 5:54:50 PM PST by BenLurkin

Democrats

Cori Bush (Mo.)

Ilhan Omar (Minn.)

Omar said in an appearance on Hill.TV’s “Rising” on Tuesday that she would vote against the bill due to the impact it would have on other countries.

"That's not only going to have a devastating impact on the people of Russia, but on Europe as well," Omar said. "When we're having these conversations, they can't be about just the immediate, gratifying response that we want to come up with."

Republicans

Andy Biggs (Ariz.)

Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.)

Louie Gohmert (Texas)

Dan Bishop (N.C.)

Glenn Grothman (Wis.)

Lauren Boebert (Colo.)

Tom Tiffany (Wis.)

Matt Gaetz (Fla.)

“I will not join them. Biden’s plan to replace Russian oil with Venezuelan or Iranian oil is needlessly foolish. It will make Americans poorer and less safe. My compassion for Ukrainians won’t force my hand to hurt my own people,” Gaetz said.

Paul Gosar (Ariz.)

Clay Higgins (La.)

Scott DesJarlais (Tenn.)

Madison Cawthorn (N.C.)

Bill Posey (Fla.)

Chip Roy (Texas)

Thomas Massie (Ky.)

They didn’t want to hurt the American people.

They put America First.

It’s the New Covid.

They will ratchet it up until you want to pay more for Gas, Higher Taxes, untold Debt, and then want to send the kids in.

It’s perfectly clear.

Without the US producing oil (we are down quite a bit from 2020), the poor countries of the world will be unable to pay for fertilizer and fuel. Omar is right on this one. Every now and then a blind squirrel finds a nut (pun intended).

I heard we get little of our oil from Russia. Symbolism over substance?

I think this is all premature, and not well thought out.

Omar and Greene on the same side. Biden is bringing America together.

America has had open borders since Columbus sailed

>> MTG and turban-head on the same side! <<

Politics makes strange bedfellows. I never thought I'd see those two on the same side of an issue.

It's like how the AlwaysBibi's (Netanyahu-as-Prime-Minister-for-Life apologists here) ranted and raved about how the coalition backing Bennett included left-wing socialist parties and Arab parties, while ignoring the fact that the outright card-carrying Communists in the Knesset were part of bloc that voted to keep Bibi in power.

Weird stuff.
