Saying you failed and apologizing now is worthless.

Primary this guy and the other six that voted for this. None of these guys are people that we should be tolerating in the Democratic party with this kind of morality, callousness for human life, and such short sighted vision.

    I, a full-time gamer, was able to see and hear what ICE was up to. A representative whose job and connections should allow them to be fully informed, has little excuse for not understanding what they voted for.

    If you are being honest Suozzi, that means you stink at your job. Give it to someone who doesn’t suck. 🤦

    Just another politician doing the wrong thing and then acting like they didn’t understand it later. Because there aren’t any consequences.

    Ugh. This DINO is talking out of both sides of his mouth. Let me explain.

    So, Democratic voters have some spine when it comes to the integrity of their representatives. There, an apology is the bare minimum one can do to acknowledge a bad decision or take on something. In past years, that might have actually worked, but I think things are changing.

    Meanwhile the Republicans have demonstrated that acting in accordance with party values - hierarchy, racism, brute force - is all that matters. Say whatever you want and lie your pants off since “the Democrats are probably cheating just as bad, and we’re the chosen people to lead anyway.” Being this duplicitous is a-okay on team R.

    So what we have is someone that is trying to keep his seat cozy, both through lip-service to the left and voting like a right-winger at the same time.

    You don’t get to say you messed up. You had more than enough evidence to see what ICE was doing and you still voted yes.

    This is the same guy who said Mamdani and AOC should leave the party, blamed trans people for Harris’s loss, and who endorsed Cuomo rather than the Democratic nominee in the NYC mayoral election. I’m sure he’s learned his lesson and will do better the next time.

    Admitting and apologizing is a mild start, but accepting accountability by resigning is what real accountability and remorse would look like for an American politician.

    An honorable Seppuku would also be acceptable and bring back some semblance of honor, as is tradition. We’ll need someone skilled to volunteer to be his second on that.
