Ocasio-Cortez Cries on House Floor After Withdrawing Her Vote Against Funding Israel’s Iron Dome Defense System The vote was on a proposal to contribute $1 billion toward helping Israel to replace missile interceptors damaged by its conflict with the Palestinians in May. Lawmakers overwhelmingly supported the measure, passing it by a vote of 490-9. Ocasio-Cortez originally voted against it, but changed her vote to “present.” AOC appears to be crying on the House floor after she changed her vote from "no" to present, during voting on funding to replenish Israel’s Iron Dome Defense Systems, She is in the middle of the house floor wiping away tears, crying into her colleagues shoulders. Why is @AOC crying? Because Jewish and Christian women and children won’t shake in terror as unguided rockets rain down on their homes and schools. Here is a list of the other communist who did not want to help people in another country! One Republican, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), and eight Democrats comprised the nine-member group voting against the bill. The Democrats included Reps. Ilhan Omar (MN), Rashida Tlaib (MI), Ayanna Pressley (MA), Cori Bush (MO), André Carson, (IN), Marie Newman and Chuy Garcia (IL), and Raúl Grijalva (AZ). One more Democrat, Rep. Hank Johnson (GA), joined Ocasio-Cortez in voting “present.” In a fiery speech on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday, Rep. Ted Deutch (D-FL) slammed Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) over the latter’s opposition to U.S. funding for Israel’s Iron Dome air defense system. The Iron Dome has been crucial in saving countless Israeli lives from rockets fired by Hamas. I cannot, I cannot allow one of my colleagues to stand on the floor of the House of Representative and label the Jewish democratic State of Israel an apartheid state. I reject it,” said Deutch passionately. “If you believe in human rights, if you believe in saving lives, Israeli lives and Palestinian lives, I say to my colleague who just besmirched our ally, then you will support this legislation.” Deutch received applause in the chamber following his remarks. Moments earlier, Tlaib accused Israel of “war crimes, human rights abuses and violence” and a “violent apartheid system.” Tlaib has been accused of anti-Semitic behavior since being in Congress in January 2019. How is it possible that people who hate America and every country that is not muslim or socialist ever got elected to public office, I can't picture that many stupid people voting for those types of people
