Carly, what are you actually asking of Rep Dexter? What “body on the line” action have you done that you would recommend as effective for this cause?

I dunno, maybe standing up and supporting Al Green as he interrupted Trump's speech to Congress? Not staying silent as he was escorted out of the chamber? That would be a start.

If the purpose is to grab headlines, maybe Maxine is upset that her pink suit and ping pong paddle stunt got upstaged by a colleague interrupting. I dk. But either this is an emergency or it's not. Actions speak louder than words, and Maxine's actions have been: stay silent, stay compliant.

I believe that Dexter was one of the reps who left the room before the speech began.

Ok so she didn't interrupt the speech... Not sure the "I walked away without fanfare" is beating the allegations of "I'm not acting like this is an emergency."

She also wore a resist shirt with other colleagues that was reported in the news so she helped conversation happen. If you’re looking for the perfect representative doing exactly what you think would work, you’re always going to be disappointed.
