More Democrats plan to vote for Holder contempt | The Daily Caller
Three more House Democrats have publicly stated now that theyll vote in favor of holding Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress, bringing the now-bipartisan support for the resolution to four Democrats.
According to Politico, a left-leaning media outlet based in suburban Virginia, Democratic Reps. Nick Rahall of West Virginia and Collin Peterson of Minnesota have joined Utah Democratic Rep. Jim Matheson with plans to vote in favor of contempt. Georgia Democratic Rep. John Barrow is also planning to vote for the contempt resolution, Fox News reports.
Some mainstream and left-leaning media outlets, including Politico, have tried to frame the bipartisan support for Holder contempt over Fast and Furious as some kind of NRA conspiracy theory, and have argued that the reason why these Democrats are supporting the resolution is because the NRA is scoring the vote. Democrats in swing districts who vote against the contempt resolution could receive a lower grade from the powerful gun-rights organization.
