House GOP leaders were among the 192 Republicans who voted against providing $28 million in aid to the Food and Drug Administration to address the shortage of baby formula — within days of criticizing President Biden for not doing enough on the issue.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (Calif.), Whip Steve Scalise (La.) and Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (N. Y.) voted late Wednesday against the measure to provide new FDA funding, which the House approved on a largely party-line vote of 231 to 192. Twelve Republicans broke ranks and joined with Democrats in backing the money. On a separate bill, the House voted Wednesday overwhelmingly to ease the burden on low-income parents by allowing the federal Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program — a major national purchaser of formula — to source it from more foreign suppliers. The vote was 414 to 9 with all the opposition coming from Republicans. The Senate approved the legislation Thursday by voice vote. It now heads to Biden, who will sign it into law.
House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) sent out a memo on Wednesday urging his members to vote “no” on the bill. -- See.. Its you neocunt fox news / oan / newsmax fucktwats are the cause of this shit! you are digging your own graves too..
Does the FAR RIGHT realize that they are also punishing their own people who voted for them by voting against this - or are they that clueless?

When 200 Republicans voted against supporting the baby formula shortage this tells us that they don't care and this is horrible for sure. Why pick on innocent little babies omg now the end of the world is coming and looks like the Far-Right Radicals are all doing Satan's work.
The Republicans are voting based on idiotic monetary ideology.
I was always taught that human life was worth more than all the money in the world. Why "Biblie Believing Chrisitans" as they claim to be, would vote to save money instead of saving lives is incomprehensible.
