Majority of Democrats Vote Against Amendment to Prevent Sex Offenders and Terrorists From Working at TSA

[PJ] It's hard to imagine why anyone in Congress would oppose a measure designed to keep sex offenders, violent criminals, and people on terror watch lists from working for the Transportation Security Agency (TSA), but alas, a mindboggling 174 House Democrats did just that this week.

On Thursday, a bipartisan majority passed an amendment to the Rights for Transportation Security Officers Act authored by Democratic Illinois Rep. Lauren Underwood. "[The amendment] was pulled back by leadership because the socialist wing of the party did not want to have that amendment go forward on this bill," said Republican House Leader Kevin McCarthy. "When it was offered, overwhelmingly the majority of the House would like to see the TSA not hire terrorists or those who have been convicted of sexual misconduct with minors and others. But the socialist wing of the party, that controls now the Democratic Party, said that that could not be offered."

#1 The leftist POV - You can't treat sex offenders like social outcasts just because they do stuff that's socially unacceptable outside Hollyweird, muzz countries and major TV network green rooms.

Hell, their leadership is chock full of such types.
