House passes "Save" Act -- one disgraceful Democrat voted FOR it. Guess who?

[Nanjeanne]

If you guessed POS Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas you won. Of course the losers are millions of women, trans people, those who were adopted, and others who have had name changes. And mail in ballots. And those using online and mail voter registration drives.

Let us pray it dies in the Senate.

1. Sad

Just fukking sad … cuellar once had my admiration

[Wiz Imp]

11. "cuellar once had my admiration"

Why? He has always voted like a Republican.

[UpInArms]

16. It was a million years ago

Back in the late 80s or early 90s …

He was in the state house …

3. Fucking Fetterman is going to vote for it in the Senate

[Nanjeanne]

5. I bet he does too.

[themaguffin]

8. He said that he supports it

[Wiz Imp]

12. Not true.

As House Republicans prepare to pass the SAVE America Act to his chamber as soon as Wednesday, Fetterman said his comments on Fox News over the weekend may have been taken out of context.

In an interview with the Post-Gazette, he stressed that he did not say that he would support the bill, which is an expansive effort to require proof of citizenship during voter registration and photo ID during voting, limit registration by mail and purge voter rolls more frequently, among other measures.

Fetterman said the changes to curtail mail-in registration were "a nonstarter" for him. Even if he were to vote for the bill, he said, it's almost certain to die in the Senate because it won't win the necessary 60 votes.

15. I trust him as far as I can spit

“Just trying to call balls and strikes,” he said on Fox News this week, echoing a phase he’s used in many of those party-defying moments. “I do not believe it’s radical or extreme to just produce an ID to vote.”

Asked by the Post-Gazette about his previous statements opposing that very idea, Mr. Fetterman did not say explicitly what form of voter ID requirements he would support now, though he suggested he was open to the concept.

“It’s a strange hill for Democrats to die on,” he said.

4. I actually guessed correctly.

Shameless.

[D. Spaulding]

6. He's basically flipped to the GOP after the pardon

as many suspected. Pathetic.

[Wiz Imp]

10. Huh? He has alway voted consistently with Republicans.

The pardon has had zero impact on his voting. He has always been a Republican pretending to be a Democrat.

7. Have to say I would have thought Golden

or maybe Davis. As one of Davis' constituents I am profoundly glad he didn't.

[FascismIsDeath]

14. Yea before I clicked on the thread, Golden was the name I was expecting to see.

[Wiz Imp]

9. There is zero chance of passing in the Senate.

[LSparkle]

13. I pray you're right (n/t)

[Buddyzbuddy]

17. Oh, hold on a minute I have to wipe the cuellar off my shoe before I can comment.

My Godfather, the late Congressman, Esteban Torres is turning over in his grave. A liberal Latino, born in Texas and Represented CA in the 80's. You are a mysoginistic disgrace, cuellar. You anti-woman, anti-abortion, anti-women's right to vote, PIG!

[UTUSN]

18. CUELLAR can have it both ways - endorsements from establisment Dems & Big-Ranch wingnuts
