McCarthy forces Gabe Vasquez to show his extremism
July 24, 2023
Axios is out with a new report detailing how Speaker McCarthy has forced vulnerable House Democrats to take difficult votes that will “re-emerge in campaign advertisements.”
Why does this matter?
So far this year, vulnerable Democrat Gabe Vasquez has been forced to vote on numerous issues, such as:
- Voting against American energy, despite oil and gas production funding a large portion of the state’s public schools and 25% of state and local budgets
- Voting against securing the southern border, despite the El Paso entry point being 42 miles from his district
- Supporting late-term abortions
- Voting against limiting wasteful government spending
- Voting to reduce penalties for violent criminals
“Democrats are being held responsible for their extremism and will be forced to admit it to voters. Gabe Vasquez is no exception.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Delanie Bomar
