She voted for “present” instead of being “against” the iron dome funding bill. Like someone with her education should know better that the purpose of iron dome is to protect Israel from facing consequences/retaliation for bombing Palestinians.
“Our votes against H.R. 8034 are votes against supplying more offensive weapons that could result in more killings of civilians in Rafah and elsewhere. We believe strongly in Israel’s right to self-defense and have joined colleagues previously in affirming our shared commitment.
“All of us support strengthening the Iron Dome and other defense systems and we are committed to a sovereign, safe, and secure future for Israel. To protect that future, we believe the United States must help achieve a ceasefire that allows hostages to be freed, humanitarian aid to be delivered, and peace talks to begin.
Ultra left hates her because she voted against giving weapons to Israel? I don’t get it.

Except, she didn’t. She voted “Nay”, and no one voted present on H.R. 8034.
