and if she recanted her vote to disclose, she'd be no better than Trump.
An awkward position once the really disgusting stuff comes out.

Maybe she’s actually seen some of the really nasty bits, turned her stomach so much she couldn’t possibly vote otherwise.

It would be nice if their efforts to flip her make her stick all the more.

when you've lost Mace, Boebert, MTG, Massie, etc., you know you're in deep dodo.

They probably know what's in those files and are trying like hell to distance themselves from the coming shit storm, sooner or later, those files are going to come out, whether released by the DoJ or someone, somewhere, is going to leak them unredacted and judging by the actions of the WH, it's bad.

I just find it disheartening that so many R women are willing to let him off the hook. Kudos to these women who are taking a stand in the face of repercussions.
