'Putinistas' Andy Biggs and Paul Gosar vote against bill to document Russian war crimes
Categories: US NEWS
These same two vassals of Vladimir Putin were among 63 members of Congress – again, all Republicans – to vote no on a non-binding resolution reaffirming our country’s “unequivocal support for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization as an alliance founded on democratic principles.”Weakening or destroying the NATO alliance is thought to be at the top of the list for the Russian president.So, again, what Republican Rep. Liz Cheney calls the Putin-wing of the Republican party came through. (Note: Arizona Republican Rep. Debbie Lesko also voted not to support NATO.) Last month, Biggs and Gosar were among 17 House members – yep, all Republican – to vote against a bill permitting a Russian oil ban and approving additional sanctions against the Kremlin.Biggs was also among only eight House members, all Republicans, to vote against a bill to revoke Russia’s “most favored nation” status in the World Trade Organization.It hasn’t gone anywhere.Except perhaps into the joyful hands of Russian propaganda specialists.
