Republicans Ignore Attention Whore Democrat Publicity Stunt Sit In, Adjourn Until After July 4th.

Of course the Democrats are calling it a win even though they got Bupkiss for their troubles.

Democrats' calls for gun control vote ignored as House adjourns until after July 4


Democrat leaders attempted to force a vote on gun control legislation by carrying out an hours-long sit-in on the House floor, but Republican leaders ignored the calls and the chants and carried on with legislative business late Wednesday into early Thursday.

The House adjourned around 3:15 a.m. ET Thursday, and even as Republicans left the buildings, Democrats stayed on the House floor repeating their chant “No bill no break!” and waving papers with the names of gun victims written in black. Rep. Maxine Waters of California said she was ready to stay “until Hell freezes over.”

As the sit-in extended into the early dawn, Democrats began to wind down the protest. However, a core group still lingered on the House floor wrapped in blankets and resting on pillows. A crowd cheered them on from outside the Capitol and many more following the theatrics on social media.

Democrats declared success in dramatizing the arguments for action to stem gun violence, despite the failure to conjure a vote.

"Just because they cut and run in the dark of night, just because they have left doesn't mean we are taking no for an answer," said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.

"We won't stop until the job is done," the Californian declared to fellow Democrats camped out in the well of the House in the early hours of the morning, saying the party had changed "the dynamic of what happens" concerning guns.





My emphasis.

That says in plain English that they went full Drama Queen when they didn't get their way and are trying to save face in their failure by calling a loss a win by saying they "changed the dynamic"

Whatever the fuck that is supposed to mean.

What a bunch of pud pullers.

If Maxine "Show Me Da Money" Waters is involved you know it's a bullshit play.

Every one of them should be drug out into the street and hanged from a lamp post with a short piece of rope. I'm getting just about fed up with these liberals and their bullshit.

Especially seeing how the Senate had already voted and defeated the damn bill.
Me thinks each branch of our government believes themselves omnipotent.
