3 House Republicans voted against a bipartisan resolution to stand 'steadfastly' with the Ukrainian

Source: Business Insider

people

Just three members of the US House — all Republicans — voted against a bipartisan congressional resolution expressing support for the Ukrainian people and Ukraine's territorial integrity as the country battles the Russian invasion.

Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona, Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, and Rep. Matt Rosendale of Montana were the only nay votes on House Resolution 956, titled "Supporting the People of Ukraine." The resolution passed the House on Wednesday with 426 votes in favor.

The non-binding resolution, among other things, says the House "supports, unequivocally, Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity" and "states unambiguously that it will never recognize or support any illegitimate Russian-controlled leader or government installed through the use of force." It also calls for the US and other nations "to deliver additional and immediate defensive security assistance."

It ends by stating the House "stands steadfastly, staunchly, proudly, and fervently behind the Ukrainian people in their fight against the authoritarian Putin regime."

Isn't it also one of the 3 who voted against the anti-lynching bill? He's on a roll, who elects these people?

We have one Representative and he does this. Ryan Zinke is running for our new second seat. Bookends.
