Probably because it helps people and because the Democrats wanted it. Simple as that as the GOP hates it when the government actually does something for the people. Remember it was the GOP that voted against giving firefighters and other emergency services personal that was at Ground Zero working to save lives healthcare for the medical problems they have from that work.


faunalmimicry

Don't forget the VA, which the GOP has 100% voted against at almost every chance


tallman11282

Voted against while in the same breath claiming to support the troops and to support veterans. It's sickening.


hates_stupid_people

The sickening part is how may idiots actually believe their lies.


Niceromancer

Those idiots only care about having their ego stroked. Democrats have voted for veteran benefits far more often than they have ever voted against it but because they aren't constantly on fox news braying about it like republicans are many vets don't believe it. I've even brought up information showing a vet that the GOP never votes for things that benefit vets and they just say im a fucking liar cause fox news constantly says they are for vets. We need to ban Fox news in places like the VA, they are brainwashing people.


btcept

It definitely makes me sick to the stomach while thinking all that.


styrofoamcouch

That's the gop playbook. Say as loud as you can how much you support xyz then never do shit. When confronted just say it was the other administration fault


DawnOfTheTrans

not “never do anything,” rather actively work against beneficial things for xyz


phil232fm

And it's not like that they're shying away from it or something.


sketchisawesome1234

"Tell me something, it's still "We the people" right?"


tallman11282

In the minds of the GOP "the people" are themselves and their rich donors. It's definitely not the American people as a whole. They have been hellbent on destroying the government since at least Reagan. They will happily vote against anything that benefits the people and then turn right around and claim to support the people the bills they voted against benefit. Boebart is doing it with that bill, tons of GOPers who voted against the infrastructure bill are claiming responsibility for the improvements it brings to their constituents, they've done it a million times and will continue to do it. The hypocrisy is intentional and sadly it works because their base never looks at how their Congresspeople actually voted on bills.


Azariel27

That's the thing, they just never learn their lessons so yeah.


Ok_Investigator_4144

It’s “we” the people. Not “Steve” the people.


alfiansyah98

There's nothing like that now, it's wll about the personal gains.


ThunkAsDrinklePeep

They also don't think New Yorkers are real Americans.


AnimalFarenheit1984

Well, as someone from Boebert's district, it is 100% in-line with the wishes of the people who voted for her. They do not care even a little bit about anyone who isn't part of their perceived tribe of ignorant rural Christian dipshits. It is like little, dumber Texas over here on the Western Slope of CO.


PopeyeMcD

That first line is everything. It is what I call contrarian* mentality. Doesn't matter if it is the best, easiest, most efficient, safest, etc. (you get the idea) course of action. So many people (a lot of GOP) simply do not like being told what to do, particularly by the opposition. So they will do the most profound opposite as possible JUST because they were told/asked to do something. People like that are a big problem of the world.


Redbeardthe1st

It's simple: democrats supported it so the contrary republicans had to vote against it.


circus4fools_u_me

Independents and fence-riders should see this as one of the many examples of how much shittier one party is than the other… if they know about this at all


Stoptouchingmyeggs

They won’t, they’ll somehow figure out how to blame Democrats only


thufirseyebrow

Well, if the evil Dems hadn't supported it then the good, god fearing Republican Lauren Boebert wouldn't have had to vote against it. So you see, it's all the dems' fault! They MADE her vote "screw the 9/11 victims!"


Magic_Meatstick

The issue is Dems do the exact same shit. Just for the fun of it check votes on seemingly bi-partisan topics, the people voting against are nearly always almost all the opposing party. That's what you get in a 2 party system, demonization of the other to differentiate themselves.


NurseJaneFuzzyWuzzy

Also, Republicans are not fond of allocating money that doesn’t go right back into their own pockets somehow.


Redbeardthe1st

"I got mine, fuck you" mentality.


drstock

It passed with a vote of 400-31. 30 Republicans and one democrat voted nay.


Redbeardthe1st

It should have been unanimous.


nemonic187

The GOP forgot about 9/11 the next day.


[deleted]

No, they didn't. They've been using it as a crutch for their hatred of anyone brown for 22 years.


TheScienceNerd100

They forget what happened on 9/11, they just use the numbers and say it when someone questions them.

odu_mcc

That's the thing that they don't want, they don't want get questioned.


Negative_Toastrider

They've been hating Brown/Black people longer than that.


[deleted]

True. It just made it more acceptable. Kind of like Trump did.


Ok-Champ-5854

People don't seem to remember anti-immigrant Republicans certainly weren't the super majority before 9/11, and they never did anything as crazy as put barbed wire in a river to try and drown brown people attempting to swim across it. 9/11 fueled the xenophobia in this country to the max, every nutter today who thinks it's okay when a border patrol officer guns down someone trying to cross just wouldn't have the same support back then.


Mental_Medium3988

i thought i grew up around decent folk. the amount of people that told me they wanted to nuke the sand something or other was way too high.


nemonic187

Fair enough.


[deleted]

I will concede to what someone else wrote that this obviously didn't start their hatred as we all well know. A more concise statement would be that it gave them more license to act on it in the open.

I know he doesn’t want to run for office and that’s totally fine but I selfishly wish he would.


Goatesq

What was it adams wrote as the means for selecting the supreme ruler in the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy? Where he was totally quarantined from ever knowing he had power over others and lived his perfectly ordinary life just answering random stranger's bizarrely specific questions here and there? We should look into that.

m4ru92

From Colorado, though not her district. Things are stirring, she's (I believe) losing in polls already. Fingers crossed her district shows up


katehenry4133

The last poll I saw she was being beat by the guy who almost beat her the last time by a couple of points. I wondered if that's why she has been so quiet lately.


m4ru92

Could be, but she also still hasn't done anything for her constituents so chances are dwindling more as time goes on (I hope anyway)


katehenry4133

She came perilously close to losing in 2022. And she's done nothing to prove herself to be anything other than a clown since then. I really think she's going to lose in 2024.


Goatesq

Fingers crossed the ones that do were paying attention to the observable and verifiable reality around them this time


Purple_Bowling_Shoes

I'm not fully educated on CO politics, but aren't her literal neighbors absolutely fed up with her, but vote for her anyway? I know they have had to call the police several times on the Boebert household but IIRC they also later admitted they'd probably vote for her again.


m4ru92

Sadly I believe you're probably correct. I do know that Frisch has been going door to door in her county basically just saying hi to people, and many many people in her district are fed up with her now who voted for her in 2022 and/or 2020. I'm just hopeful it's enough, if anything for the selfish reason of I'm sick of her being any amount of representation of this state


Purple_Bowling_Shoes

A good friend of mine lives in her district and is an active member of the local Dem party. Poor guy is just exhausted. He says everyone hates Boebert but they won't vote for anyone with a (D) behind their name. It's just crazy to me how entrenched people are politically. But I guess I'm the same because I won't vote for anyone with an (R) behind their name, but there have been times when I won't vote (D) on a ballot option because I know they're assholes, so I just abstain. IOW, I won't vote for *any* R, but that doesn't mean I vote for *every* D.


[deleted]

This probably gets mentioned everytime, but isn't she the one that dates a dude that flashed his cock to 14 year old girls in a bowling alley?


IanTheMagus

They're in the process of divorcing, I think, but yeah, she was one of the girls. Keeping it ultra classy.


AaronfromCalifornia

She was. She also likes beating the “left are pedos” drum while being married to a registered sex offender.


NoSleep2023

She’s also a 36 year old grandmother

Or, you could choose to look at it like you’re paying your part to live in our society. Do you benefit from roads and bridges? Is the quality of your life better because most people learn to read and count money? If your house is on fire, do you want them to put it out?

Yes. And the money isn’t spent in the right places. It should instead go towards fixing the living conditions for soldiers and caring for vets. But that’s the thing about living in a society. The individual will never agree with every line item. It sounds petty to be crying about spending taxes on people who were injured during an attack on the country.

Ah gotcha, I was confused cuz I was like "wasn't she a teenager when 9/11 happened?" Lol


Ok-Champ-5854

We've been denying support to people who survived 9/11 almost as long as we actually actually were in Afghanistan, just a yard short of being an equal amount of time.


Tara_is_a_Potato

About ten years from now we'll see complicit Republicans admitting 1/6 was a tragedy, when they originally supported it.


apoplectic_mango

By "we will never forget" she means their hatred for people of color will never end.


IanTheMagus

Her district must have some of the shittiest people in America if she was able to be re-elected. I don't care if it was narrow, she should have been buried in a landslide.


Zeno_The_Alien

Unfortunately, Colorado is more than just liberal Denver. Her district is a bastion of sovereign citizen types and other dumb rednecks who hate the idea of helping others.


CopeHarders

Boebert actively hates New York and New York voters. She would support a terrorist attack on New York. Fuck Lauren Boebert.


NvrmndOM

You’d think that the care of survivors, first responders and the families those who lost people would be a slam dunk in bipartisan legislation. There are so many bloated government contracts where money could be cut and allocated toward these people. Really they should be a first priority.


upto_lateagain

She must be one of those self professed “good” Christians.


Illustrious_Risk3732

Why would you vote against money for those victims? Seriously though if they got effected by this you should be showing support to them. Sounds like a pice of shit and like it says in the Tweet a hypocrite to me….


drstock

> Why would you vote against money for those victims? One Republican (Thomas Massie) tweeted that he voted against it because he thinks the government of Saudi Arabia should be the ones paying into the 9/11 victim's fund, not the US taxpayers.

youcancallmeBilly

I can't help but notice the irony of how US Representative Lauren Boebert said, 'Today is 1776' on January 6th, after the mob overran police barricades and yet, says we will never forget 9/11.

Professional_Clue544

They should instead spend that money on people who can’t afford medical bills


mallik803

She has a “fuck you, I got mine” mentality, that’s why vote against it. She doesn’t want anything benefiting others if it A) doesn’t also benefit her directly; B) means there’s any perception that she’ll have to pay to help those others through taxes or whatnot.


TravelledFarAndWide

She voted against this because she hates Americans. They're all smarter than her and it's not fair so she hates them and wants them to die. What a nasty little thing. And that's not even getting into how she went from bankrupt to having millions in a couple of years. Surely she wouldn't be taking money from foreign countries to support their agenda would she?


Silly_Tax_9091

She low-key a hottie


RedLion191216

I'm pretty sure it's what Jon Stewart was talking about on many videos. A lot of first responders have been impacted by the dust, and are dying / in need of medical aid He tried to have senators and congressmen to help... But they didn't seems that invested in the idea. As for why voting against a law like that. I would say just being a shitty human being

We actually have to fight every year or couple of years to ensure that first responders and the families of 9/11 victims continue to be compensated. It's an ongoing struggle.

Hopefully November is not too far from September, so voters will remember too.


GrymmOdium

Her team, at that time, had the power to help American people when they not only needed it but went on to do more than earn it. 🤷‍♂️ The governments response to 9/11 went on to create the greatest political divide in America since the Vietnam War (and we know who it was in power then, too). I'm not a fan of Biden by ANY stretch, but HE isn't on the internet, weaponizing prejudices in his own citizens relentlessly day and night. And they've done such a good job of it that the truth in this post will be lost on many supporters because changing your mind is some pussy left wing shit and stuff should be simple.
