Far-left New York Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jamaal Bowman were two of 14 House lawmakers to vote against a resolution condemning Iran’s unprecedented drone and missile attack against Israel.
The resolution overwhelmingly passed in a 404-14 vote Thursday, with all but one of the “nays” coming from Democrats.
In addition to Ocasio-Cortez and Bowman, Democrats Cori Bush of Missouri, Greg Casar of Texas, Jonathan Jackson of Illinois, Pramila Jayapal of Washington, Hank Johnson of Georgia, Barbara Lee of California, Summer Lee of Pennsylvania, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, Delia Ramirez of Illinois and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan voted against the measure.
Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) was the lone Republican to oppose the resolution, which also “reaffirms and supports Israel’s right to self-defense” and “stands with Israel as it defends itself against Iran’s attack and seeks to re-establish deterrence against Iran and its proxies.”
