Do as I say not as I do – Rep. Stephanie Murphy

A Friday story in 3 parts:

Here’s a video of her touting her “bipartisan amendment to help families in #PuertoRico.”

Here’s a tweet where she celebrates the passage of the bill.

Here’s an article calling her out for voting against her own legislation.

Stephanie Murphy touts bill that she voted against via Florida Politics

“Democratic U.S. Rep. Stephanie Murphy of Winter Park proudly pushed through a bill amendment that ensured families in Puerto Rico are treated equally under the federal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting program, and after the full bill passed the U.S. House of Representatives Tuesday, she touted it with a tweet, ‘House just passed my amdt.’

“One complication: Murphy voted against the actual bill she heralded, House Resolution 2824, as did almost all Democrats.”

“Then later on Tuesday, a couple of hours after the entire bill was approved by the House, Murphy tweeted, “House just passed my amdt ensuring families in #PuertoRico receive equal support under a fed prgrm to help families.” Her tweet was greeted by congratulatory and thankful retweets from a number of people.

Yet she and 188 other Democrats had just found themselves on the losing side of the 214-209 vote that approved HR 2824. Only two Democrats, neither of which Murphy nor Velázquez, voted yes.”

“’Congresswoman Murphy saw an opportunity in the House bill to fix an unfair formula that has been hurting Puerto Ricans for years’…. Murphy’s spokesman, Javier Hernandez, wrote.’

And then she voted against Puerto Ricans and herself. What a time to be alive.
