John Lewis wouldn’t stand for the likes of Brian Fitzpatrick.
As Cyril Mychalejko writes in the Bucks County Beacon:
Republican Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick could have stopped President Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” that will slash Medicaid and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits spending by almost $1 trillion.
Fitzpatrick’s single vote could have stopped the bill that passed 215-214 Thursday morning in the House.
Instead, the self-described moderate fell in line with the MAGA leadership of the Republican Party and his single vote sent the budget bill that will take food and health care away from millions of Americans to the Republican-controlled Senate. Two Republicans who were independent enough to vote against the budget were Representatives Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Warren Davidson of Ohio.
We should be angry about this. Get up to good trouble as John Lewis would say.
