(I apologize for originally posting the Forbes video "Salinas Rails Against GOP For Silence After Trump's Horrifying Remark" without checking its veracity.

[Hassler]

1. Time to quit the QOP

[niyad]

19. Trrue statement... but, as indicated downthread, that is Rep. Balint, Dem.

And Rep. Salinas is also Dem.. forbes screwed up.

[Deuxcents]

2. I may get zapped for this but..why is it that it's mostly women speaking out about this president?

The Congresswoman is correct in her assessment of the situation and her imploring her fellow Republicans to speak up and break their silence. Enough is enough

[brush]

6. Agreed. Seems Dem women are leading the fight against the cowardly GOP.

[calimary]

15. And where are the Democratic men?

I expect all hands on deck, dammit. After all, I’m helping to PAY for their privilege.

[brush]

20. I know. Congressman Jamie Raskin is out there doing his part.

Sen. Chuck Schuer? He's going to have a tough time getting re-elected as signed on to the rethug CR that IMO helped trump get elected AGAIN. Rep. Jeffries has not been that visible also.

But add Reps. AOC and Jasmine Crockett to the Dem women who are showing leadership.

[niyad]

18. Please note that is, as indicated downthread, Rep. Balint, Dem.

Rep Salinas is also Dem.

[rampartd]

21. i've suspected that trump has kompromat on most of the males

good of the congresswoman to notice her colleague's silence

[MagaSmash]

3. That's how you Speak Up Vociferously. Keep Doing it; Each and Every Day.

[vapor2]

4. YES! THANK YOU!

No fear from Rep Salinas and the rest of the cowards?

[yorkster]

5. That might be Becca Balint D- VT.

Andrea Salinas is also a Dem.

[scipan]

9. oh thanks. you're right.

[chowder66]

10. It is Rep. Becca Balint D-VT and yes Rep. Salinas is also a Democrat.

Just wanted to back you up on your facts!

[calimary]

12. Yep. Andrea Salinas is a Dem.

She was in state politics before this. Now in her second term in Oregon’s 6th district. Yeah. We got a new district up here a few years ago. Oregon must be growing. Good to see her move up.

30. My mistake, thanks.

(Forbes had it wrong & I didn't doublecheck it like I should have)

[boonecreek]

7. Oh for cry Pete.

Declare yourself an independent and caucus with the Democrats.

[chowder66]

11. That is Rep. Becca Balint D-VT and yes Rep. Salinas is also a Democrat.

[red dog 1]

27. You're right. It's Rep. Becca Balint (D-VT)

[WVreaper]

8. Call them out!

Every fucking day,,!

[summer_in_TX]

13. A correction is needed. She is D-OR, not R-OR.

[yorkster]

22. Salinas is a D. This is not Salinas, but Becca Balint, D- VT.

[red dog 1]

26. It's been corrected.

[summer_in_TX]

32. Thanks.

[summer_in_TX]

31. It appeared that Forbes identified her as Salinas of Oregon. But I see it's corrected now.

So confusing. Thank you!

[red dog 1]

25. Thanks, I should have doublechecked the incorrect "Forbes Breaking News" video labeling it as Rep. Andrea Salinas (R-OR)

I reposted a corrected video of Rep. Becca Bilant (D-VT)

[BurnDoubt]

14. She sounded like an American. Every word is True.

[Old Crank]

16. They all took the oath of office.

The silence means they have no intention of living up to it.

[niyad]

17. Gee, forbes, even if that were Rep. Salinas, she is a Dem, not a traitor.

And, I went to the youtube comments. JFC, they were ugly, hateful, despicable.

[Uncle Joe]

23. Kicked and recommended

Thanks for the thread red dog

[red dog 1]

24. I apologize for posting the "Forbes Breaking News" video yesterday, which erroneously stated it was Rep. Andrea Salinas

(D-OR),
It was actually Rep. Becka Balint (D-VT)

[yorkster]

28. Thanks, red dog 1.
