If it won't get past the Senate? Why all this drama? Not that Epstein isn't important. But so much time is spent on talking about the House vote when it will be meaningless.

Republicans dont like to be forced to publicly take stands on certain issues. This will demonstrate who is who. (As if we dont already know but this puts them on record.)
Besides, its kind of fun to see Trump scrambling to cover his shit.

(1,314 posts)1. It is the right thing to do, case closed.
After seeing the results from multiple locations across the Country, whites (my clan) were 20 plus points higher for Reps than all other demographics. Northeast, down to VA, out here in CA, non whites were almost 70 percent to 90 percent for Dems. The lowest being Hispanics at just below 70.
The sunlight is being shined, Reps can try the family values bullshit like always, doing that while protecting pedos wont pass the smell test for many.
