| Description | All eight Republicans who represent Georgia in the U.S. House voted against a resolution that passed condemning the Atlanta spa shootings.
The 244-180 vote included every House Democrat plus several dozen Republicans. The resolution’s text includes the names and biographical details about the eight victims of the March 16 attack plus language “reaffirming the House of Representatives’ commitment to combating hate, bigotry, and violence against the Asian-American and Pacific Islander community.”
Five of Georgia’s six House Democrats voted in favor of the measure; U.S. Rep. David Scott was not present for the vote. |
