Marie Gluesenkamp Perez was one of four Democrats who voted for the SAVE Act, the GOP's effort to overhaul election laws & significantly restrict voting rights.

She came home to an angry town hall.

She’s got to go. She won (twice) because she ran against a white nationalist - who’s now failed upward into the Trump admin! - but she has been a horrible rep. She’s emblematic of why democrats are failing everywhere.

These are the types of Dems who need to be primaried.

No, these are the types of Dems who need to be metaphorically shaken by their lapels (like her constituents did) do pull their shit together and act like Americans and not like MAGAs.

If she fails to do that, then she should be primaried.

Me mad, but be smart first.

Ok Marie, data show there is about a 0.00013% chance that a non-citizen voted in your district in the last election.

How many people will have to spend time & money to get replacement birth certificates? There was at least one at your town hall.

You're not stupid, so stop acting like it.

So if she new it wouldn't pass the senate due to the fillibuster and other issues about the bill, then why did she vote for it. There is already a law about non-citizens voting. This was an unnecessary law.

The (stupid, short-sighted) reason is what you mentioned. Knowing it likely won’t pass the Senate, they see it as a free pass to beef up their bipartisan scorecards so they can say “hey look I voted with the president a quarter of the the time!” or whatever to the five people that care about that.

I understand some of MGP's strategic votes, but this isn't one of them. She deserves whatever aggro voters may give her over this one.

At least she had the balls to hold a town hall - unlike @golden.house.gov who also voted for the SAVE Act.

I love this for her.

“I do not support noncitizens voting in American elections, and that’s common sense to folks in Southwest Washington” Perez said.

Common sense requires proof that that is actually taking place to legitimize her vote. She has neither.

Her name should be Marie Snaken-kamp Perez.

WA-03 choice for this seat. Take your pick.

Marie Gluesenkamp Perez or Joe Kent?

"National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, is a MAGA loyalist with ties to white nationalists – including participating in an interview with a Nazi sympathizer."

Perez thinks contrarianism is a shortcut to or substitute for thoughtful policy engagement.

What an idiot.

Some ‘consultant’ slipped her the same Mickey that Slotkin got. If a Dem wins in a Trump district, that means your voters were wrong about Trump, not that you have to kiss his ass. My God, women who changed their names! How easy was that?

randyb-lusky.bsky.social•20 hours ago

Painfully apparent, she has to go. This is not redeemable.

Credit to now LEGENDARY grifter Kyrsten Sinema: her actions monumentally improved my ability to SWIFTLY recognize other DINO-Con Artists. There is no benefit whatsoever to the SAVE Act. Thank you, MGP, for giving people the info they need to not even consider you for re-election.
