Squad Dems break with Pelosi and reject $1.9 billion for additional Capitol security
Fox News
The progressive Squad nearly sunk a Capitol security bill Thursday backed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi over their objections to funding a "broken" policing system and ignoring the root cause of the Jan. 6 riot which they say is "White supremacy."
Three progressives joined with all Republicans in voting "no" against the bill: Reps. Cori Bush of Missouri, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts. And in an apparent compromise to avoid the bill from completely failing, three other Squad members voted "present" rather than no: Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Jamaal Bowman of New York. "[T]here must be a comprehensive investigation and response to the attack on our Capitol and our democracy, one that addresses the root cause of the insurrection: white supremacy," Bush, Omar and Pressley said in a joint statement Thursday. "This bill prioritizes more money for a broken system that has long upheld and protected the white supremacist violence we saw on display that day."
