Rep. Yvette Herrell must explain to constituents why she thinks making death threats is appropriate conduct in Congress
Taking orders from her Washington party bosses, today Rep. Yvette Herrell voted against holding fellow Freedom Caucus member and white nationalist sympathizer Rep. Paul Gosar accountable for tweeting a heinous animated video showing him killing a sitting congresswoman.
If it were up to Rep. Yvette Herrell, Gosar, who has planned fundraisers with prominent white nationalist leader Nick Fuentes and promoted “Anglo-Saxon” ideas alongside Marjorie Taylor Greene, would have been let off the hook for threatening to kill a colleague. Yvette Herrell’s cowardly vote today underscores who really runs the House Republican Conference -- unhinged extremists like Gosar and Greene who face nothing but shrugs from Republican leadership in response to their violent rhetoric.
“The House GOP’s values are in the gutter -- and Yvette Herrell just proved today that she is no exception,” said DCCC Spokesperson Helen Kalla. “Voters should know that Yvette Herrell is an extremist sympathizer who believes it’s perfectly acceptable to make death threats towards congressional colleagues.”
