“And listen to this quote from Senator Murkowski, who just caved and voted for this. You’re gonna love this. She said, ‘My hope is that the House is gonna look at this and recognize that we’re not there yet.’ I mean, my question to her is, if you really believe that, then why the hell did you vote for this bill? It doesn’t make any sense!”
— Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA), quoted by Mediaite.
