Samantha, a Republican caller from Virginia, told Johnson she lives “paycheck to paycheck” with “two medically fragile children” and a husband who serves in the military.
“If we see a lapse in pay come the 15th, my children do not get to get the medication that’s needed for them to live their life,” she said, her voice shaking. “As a Republican, I am disappointed in my party and I’m very disappointed in you because you do have the power to call the House back.… I am begging you to pass this legislation. My kids could die.”
Edit: I see a lot of responses saying they deserve or they voted. Mistakes are made. Mistakes need to be forgiven. It’s time to unite and heal this country if we ever want to take it back from the fascists and billionaires and secure our democracy.

Children don’t deserve to suffer for the mistakes or poor judgement of their parents ~ I hope they can get the care they need somehow.
Quite amazing how you can be living paycheck to paycheck while your family is in service to country and still believe you’ve voted in your best interests, though.

It’s crazy when republican voters are surprised their party cuts social benefits for the poor and middle class and gives billionaires tax breaks. This is why your a republican, you want everything privatized and want trickle down economics. Republicans are against humanitarian rights, labor rights, or public rights. They’re against all the rights and love taxing the middle class to give welfare to the rich. They salivate over taking the social security fund to give to the rich and still want you to pay the Social security tax to keep funding the rich. Listen to your politicians, they say this crap constantly.

They dont care. Maga/Republicans would rather force a teenage rape victim to have a baby on the streets and let them both die than give access to medical care or birth control. You think your kids not getting medicine phases them? It is what they want. They want the people poor, hungry, sick, weak, uneducated, etc.

„You misunderstand, Mr. Republican voter. Your job is not to live. Your job is to die so as to increase billionaires‘ profits. They matter. You do not. Now be a good little Republican and shuffle along, work hard, and pay your taxes, because they sure don’t.“
Bishopjones2112 on
They don’t give a shit about children. Not children being shot in schools. Not children starving. Not even vaccines for children to keep them from preventable diseases like whooping couch and measles. So they certainly don’t care about this woman’s children dying. It’s sad, but true, this party caters to the rich and powerful, if you aren’t that then piss off and go die. That’s what they think. So eventually everyone will realize. Probably too late for most.

I have disdain for people who vote against their best interests. At least those 2 dozen trans kids across the country can’t play sports anymore and some people got deported. i’m sure that’s a fair trade-off for your kids‘ lives. I would say maybe the hardship they face will force them to re-examine their views but i’m sure they’ll eat it up the next time a republican talking head says liberals and democrats and woke is ruining the country because giving these people someone to hate is more important to them than actually helping them.

You’ll see your kids in heaven when the rapture happens. No, seriously, Mike Johnson is an evangelical. They think kids dying is a good thing actually, because it means they can’t be tempted and fall to sin. In short evangelicalism is a rotting corpse that’s poisoning America and needs to be removed by any means necessary.
