The party of personal freedom/ignorant dipshits. Either way, sooo much better than the socialist cancel-culture 'Democrat' party. These two wanted the publicity. Twelve others quietly neglected to vote on the bill.
GOP Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Lauren Boebert of Colorado were the only members of Congress to vote against a bill that would provide patients who suffer from leukemia or other blood diseases access to potentially life-saving bone marrow transplants.
The legislation, called the TRANSPLANT Act, would reauthorize the National Marrow Donor Program for another five years. The program helps match bone marrow donors and cord blood units with people in need.
The bill overwhelmingly passed the House in a 415-2 vote on Thursday evening. Twelve lawmakers, including freshman Republican Rep. Madison Cawthorn of North Carolina, did not vote on the bill.
A spokesman for Greene told Insider that the bill "opens the door" for the National Institutes of Health to "research the remains of babies who were murdered in the womb."
"Nothing in this bill prevents the funding of aborted fetal tissue by taxpayers," he added.
Boebert's office did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
Damn, right back to the Know Nothings with that 'uniquely Anglo-Saxon' shit. The Irish thought they'd achieved equality, but all along the real Anglo-Saxons have known better. Don't even get them started with Italians and such.

...for refusing to be vaccinated.
A Times analysis found that willingness to receive a vaccine and actual vaccination rates were both lower, on average, in counties where a majority of residents voted to re-elect Donald Trump as president in 2020. In more rural — and more Republican — areas, health officials said that vaccine supply was far exceeding demand.

Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is abandoning her plan to launch a right-wing congressional group dubbed the America First Caucus after the publication of a seven-page platform vowing to protect “Anglo-Saxon political traditions” by congressional newsletter Punchbowl News, her spokesperson told Forbes.
Yeah, she's going to have to go underground now, and find some way to protect her identity within a more secretive group...

QAnon promoting Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia became a joke on Twitter again after suggesting someone should be arrested for letting kids near a drag queen.
The whole incident is a strange game of bigot telephone where, as usual, the truth was lost along the way.
n the story, a woman shared her disgust, saying she couldn't believe that children were allowed in the club at close to midnight and they were being paraded around with the drag performer. The view switches between the woman and the drag show she's supposedly watching.
Greene's tweet includes the hashtag "#SaveTheChildren", a phrase often used by followers of QAnon. Greene has tried, to little success, to distance herself from the controversial, cult-like movement that also believes things like Jewish space lasers causing wildfires and blood drinking Satan worshipping pedophiles.
