Breaking news, the clown show that is the House Republican caucus is in fact full of clowns, and they're too busy being clowns to vote on legislation.
The top five freshman members of Congress who've missed the most votes this year are all House Republicans, according to data collected by Quorum.
By the numbers: Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.) led the pack, missing 16.2% of votes. Cawthorn ranks sixth overall among all members — both House and Senate — in terms of missed votes.
The House Democratic freshman who missed the most votes is Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.), No. 14 on the list, at 2.82%.
Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), No. 12, missed the most votes in the Senate as a freshman, at 3.14%.
What they're saying: “Rep. Cawthorn married the love of his life on April 3rd of 2021. Due to his honeymoon, he missed House votes occurring between April 13th and April 16th," his spokesman Micah Bock told Axios.
Four of the votes that Sen. Lummis missed were due to a record-level blizzard that hit Wyoming this year, Lummis's office said.
Sure, that's an excuse, because all the House votes took place in four days in April, right? And it's weird, because Wyoming's other senator, John Barasso, made those votes.
Even more so than the House GOP entering freshmen of the last decade, this class seems to think that they'll get reelected by not doing anything in the House except being assholes.
And they will get reelected, because their Republican voters in red districts think the federal government is illegitimate and broken anyway, so why not have a Congressperson dedicated to making sure it stays that way?
They don't want representation. They want entertainment. They want to own the libs. Period.
Welcome to the clown show, rookies.
