House GOP and Nazis

All 208 House Republicans thumbed their noses at an amendment to a bill that would order the government to investigate white supremacist and neo-Nazi activity in the military and federal law enforcement.

Yes, Liz Cheney voted against it.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
