BuzzFeed News made calls to the offices of the 14 Republicans and visited each member’s office in DC, trying to open the doors.
But for the last minute declaration of a national holiday those offices would have been filled with bustling interns and congressional staff. Instead the marbled halls of the Capitol were mostly empty. Transom windows showed no signs of office activity and “CLEANING NOT REQUIRED” door tags lined the corridor.Six of the 14 Republicans who voted against the bill made the day business as usual.
“Most of us had already planned our week...since it wasn’t a day off and...we had things that needed to be completed,” the spokesperson for Rep. Matt Rosendale of Montana told BuzzFeed News in an email. “We had normal operations today.”
Juneteenth what stupidity. This more black appeasement by Dems to harvest votes.
That’s how voting works. Even if you lose, you still abide by the result. 👀
Surprise, surprise

New national holiday sets off scramble to shut down governments nationwide FridayStates across the country have scrambled to close their government offices Friday after President Biden signed legislation establishing Juneteenth as a US federal holiday Oh it’s CNN the black news only station. As of today I’m switching from the Democratic to the republican party. I’m tired of 12% of population thinking they should have everything I'm guessing that about 99.9% of those government employees couldn't give a crap about the issues surrounding Juneteenth. To them it's just another of their excessive paid days off. Like the federal government needs another day off.
