Today's note is this at Brian Mudradio. If most Dems

(01:06):
voted for Kirk's resolution, how did Florida's Dems vote okay.
So last week, the motion honoring the life and legacy
of Charles Charlie James Kirk passed the House of Representatives overwhelmingly.
While much of the attention was paid to extremists outliers
like Jasmine Crockett and AOC, the fact of the matter

(01:29):
is that eighty four percent of the House voted in
favor of the resolution, including a majority of all Democrats.
This is how it went down on this vote. The
yays are three hundred and ten, the nays are fifty eight.
Voting present are thirty eight. The resolution is adopted, right,

(01:50):
so overwhelmingly, including a solid majority of Democrats who voted decisively.
So with that in mind, take a look. You know
what happened within our state. So all Republicans in Florida
voted yes for this, In fact, all did across the country.
Out of Florida's Democrat delegation mixed bag. So Florida has

(02:13):
eight congressional Democrats right now, only three voted in favor
of the resolution, while three voted against, with one just
no vote meaning they weren't there, and one person saying

(02:33):
I'm here as a president, will you take a position
I'm here. So what this means is that generally speaking,
Florida's Democrat delegation was to the left of the majority
of House Democrats. I think that's instructive some food for

(02:57):
thought entering next year's midterm election cycle that Florida's Democrats
are to the left of Democrats nationally on average. Now
the scorecard, Darren Soto. These are the Florida Democrats and
how they voted. Darren Soto voted yay. Maxwell Frost voted nay.

(03:22):
Kathy Castor decided not to show up to vote. Cheerless
CHEERFULUS McCormick voted nay. Lois Frankel, who am I? Where
am I? I'm here? She was the present vote. Jared
Moskowitz voted yay the hat Frederica Wilson voted nay, and

(03:51):
Debbie Wasserman Schultz voted yay. So notably, this break shows Soto, Muskowitz,
and Wasserman Schultz voting but the mainstream at their party
in the country on the resolution, while Lois Frankle's non
position brings her to the left of even her party
casts no vote. Who the heck knows? And then you

(04:12):
have the extremist Frost cheerfless. McCormick and Wilson are shown
to have voted with the extremists in their party, and
certainly extremists by virtue of this country, because again, if
you take a look in the Senate, there is unanimous consent,
meaning every single Senator went along with the resolution. If

(04:34):
you take a look at the cross section, you have
five hundred and thirty five congressional members, only fifty eight
in total voted against. So basically the ten percent most
radical in the country. And so that is the company
that these keep frost cheerfless in McCormick and Wilson. They

(04:55):
are with the absolute ten percent most extreme in the
United States, something I believe is important to know as
well as what's actually in the resolution. When I was
guest ssocaeing from Mark Levin on Monday, I actually read
the House resolution because everybody talks about it, who voted
for it, who didn't, Good chance, you've never heard much

(05:15):
of anything that's in it. And unfortunately I don't have
the time right here to go ahead and read the
whole thing, but I will have this post it as
part of this entry. I encourage you to get it,
or you can also just go back and listen to
the podcast Mark Levin podcast for Monday when I did this.
But one of the things that I think is especially
important among the many great attributes of Charlie that are

(05:37):
recognized in this, to the idiots like Edwin Ferguson on
the Palm Beach County School Board, it is recognized that
he was a uniter, that he was somebody who reached
across the political divide to try to engage in discourse,
and that tried to bring the country together while being
persuasive and so demonstrating the best best attributes that exists

(06:03):
within our representative republic. That is ultimately what is recognized here.
And so for anybody who is like, oh, he was
a racist Sesian, break out this resolution and showed them
here's what it says. Yeah but yeah, but yeah, but
even b nearly two to one margin Democrats said this

(06:25):
is so
