WATCH: House Dems Chant 'USA!' As Republicans Strip Funding From Election Security

The GOP House voted this morning, 217-199, to zero out election security funding. Minority Whip Steny Hoyer couldn't believe it: "Surely we can rise above pandering to party and Putin to act on behalf of our freedom and our security."

And House Democrats broke into chant of “USA! USA!”

November can't come soon enough. This is an existential crisis and our democracy is literally at stake.

This isn't just Trump or Trumpism and we can't count on "true conservatives" or Never Trumpers to do the right thing. The Republican Party is corrupt to its core. They'd rather be traitors and open the door to Russia's help than lose their grip on power.

(Vote the GOP bums out)

It is possible. Many states do it. Sadly, not all.
If we don’t get a blow out turnout we can get screwed again.
I fear for our country.

aiding in the destruction of our democracy, how much time it spends with this story and with how much righteous indignation and rage, seems to me to be a perfectly reasonable metric. No republican house member should be interviewed on any issue without this one constantly being thrown in their face, and answers demanded, and frankly, accusations levied.
