Republicans in the House had perhaps one of their most embarrassing and confusing days in recent memory on Tuesday.
GOP leaders called votes on two key legislative priorities for Republicans: impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and funding U.S. aid to Israel. Both of those votes failed in back-to-back, stunning losses on the House floor, and Republicans suffered what they described as disappointing and demoralizing defeats.
“Not good,” Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., said.
“Very frustrating,” Rep. Ryan Zinke, R-Mont., reflected.
“Shameful. Embarrassing,” remarked Rep. Troy Nehls, R-Texas.
