Two Republican senators emerge as opponents to 9/11 victims bill
Sen. Rand Paul used a procedural move to stall the measure, saying he wants to figure out how to pay for it. Sen. Mike Lee also has placed a hold on the bill, advocates say.Unacceptable. Just completely unacceptable We're okay with firefighters running into burning, collapsing buildings- but we refuse to support them afterwards. Firefighters and first responders deserve better.
Paul's vote was procedural to ask for an amendment on funding not against the 9/11. Make sure you share the facts.
I promise to be 100% open minded. Please explain how?!?!
Guess it's time to run 2 more outa office in DC!
Why?
Remember, Paul voted for a $2 trillion tax cut that lined the pockets of the wealthy and corporations, with absolutely no regard for the federal debt. The hypocrisy of these peoples has absolutely no limits. Shameful.
Hypocrites
