The House on Thursday passed a resolution that condemns recent efforts to defund or abolish the police, over the objections of more than half of House Democrats.
Lawmakers voted 301-119 to pass the non-binding resolution that recognizes the "dedication and devotion demonstrated by the men and women of local law enforcement who keep our communities safe," and "condemns calls to defund, disband, dismantle, or abolish the police."
Every one of the "no" votes came from Democrats, and as a group Democrats voted 87-117 against the measure. Three Democrats voted "present," and all but two Republicans voted for it.
Why did the Democrats vote wrong? Were they drunk? I mean, all we hear about is how they dont want to defund the police.
Another one of lifes mysteries
