“a political stunt intended to embarrass Democrats...”

Ummmm ok, it was a vote on a Democrat Party Bill. Unforced error. Dip$hits responsible are probably getting an earful from Bela Pelosie.

"a political stunt intended to embarrass demsYou: "They needed this" The surprise is that the actually did something that holds the dems accountable. What are the odds the US Snakepit (Senate) would do that?

It’s funny how they always seem to “report” a passive voice interpretation from the Democrats perspective of what the news is in every story: “a political stunt”. It’s not that Republicans put the new Democrats’ platform on the floor for a vote. No, it was a political stunt.

“Republicans pounce” or “Republicans seize” are two of the tried and true other ones.
