“I would have voted NO if I had known this was in there,” Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene confessed Tuesday on X.

“I am not going to hide the truth: This provision was unknown to me when I voted for that bill,” Nebraska Rep. Mike Flood told voters in his district last week. “I do not agree with that section that was added to that bill.”

But since it only impacts their voters it does not matter.
Voters are worthless stupid eaters who must be punished and controlled.
