Okay, just let me ask you this, the vote last night was at 6:05pm,
I saw you on the steps last night,
about 10 minutes before that, you claimed it was a traffic jam.
That prevented you from reaching the vote and voting,
but I had seen you having arrived on the steps with minutes to spare.
So, I mean, I'm sorry to put you in a tricky position,
but I've got to know, like, why didn't you vote? You were here.
It's not a tricky position. I shared with you that I'd missed the vote.
There was a traffic jam that was there.
It's inexcusable. It's not making an excuse for it.
I should have been able to make the vote. It was a procedural vote.
But you kind of did make the vote.
This was not the vote. I made the...
subsequent votes, there were three votes
in that series uh for the previous question yeah and so
the uh but i stand by i was the first member
of congress to ask for Pete Hegseth to be resigned
which is why i'm so confused, I agree
with you you do feel very strongly if people turn
around and look you can see that this becomes
a very chaotic area right here
but i saw you right here with like minutes
to spare that's that's that was mine like i'm not
I just think, I know you care, so I'm just confused why you didn't.
And I wish I could answer you in any more detail,
but I support the movement.
Okay.
Okay.
