You just want to split hairs. She didn't vote yes and eas going to vote no until some measure of sense was talked into her.

Again, if you can't support a bill to improve capitol security, including the police who were getting the shit kicked out of them, then how can you criticize anyone for votes on 1/6?

She might shoupd think about that anti police hardliners stance considering some of those people literally gave their lives to keep her from getting killed.
