Democrats who drafted a bill to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement [ICE] suddenly announced Thursday night that they would vote against it if the legislation went to the floor, after House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy told Fox News he intended to call their bluff.
"We know Speaker [Paul] Ryan is not serious about passing our 'Establishing a Humane Immigration Enforcement System Act,' so members of Congress, advocacy groups, and impacted communities will not engage in this political stunt," Reps. Mark Pocan of Wisconsin, Pramila Jayapal of Washington and Adriano Espaillat of New York told The Hill and other news outlets. "If Speaker Ryan puts our bill on the floor, we plan to vote no and will instead use the opportunity to force an urgently needed and long-overdue conversation on the House floor."
McCarthy, R-Calif., said earlier Thursday he would place a bill to abolish ICE on the House floor later this month.

GDit, bring the bill to the floor and make “the Loyalists” aligned with MS-13, crime, rape, and murder go on record against the Patriots — We know how this plays out, make them either defend their inane and asinine stunt or make them STFU, either way, WE THE PEOPLE WIN!!!
Know what they call 25 democrats standing in a circle holding hands?
A dope ring.

DIMs are both lunatics and idiots.
I'll take Stupid And Transparent Political Stunts for 200, Alex.
I thought Charlie Rangel retired. This is the kind of crap he would pull. On a couple of occasions, he introduced a Bill to reinstate the Draft, then would vote against it when it came up. What a bunch of douche bags.
Someone on staff whispered in their ear “That doesn’t poll well in your district.” About Face!
We “will not engage in this political stunt,” Reps. Mark Pocan of Wisconsin, Pramila Jayapal of Washington and Adriano Espaillat of New York said.
Well, ash holes, you submitted the bill as a political stunt. Now you’re getting what you wished for.
These Dem clowns are starting to rival the Babylon Bee
