Rep. Jonathan Jackson Confronted Over Missing Capitol Vote, Calls Blunder “Inexcusable”

Okay, just let me ask you this. Yes, sir. The vote last night was at 6.05 p.m. I saw you on the steps last night, about 10 minutes before that. You claimed it was a traffic jam that prevented you from reaching the vote and voting, but I had seen you having arrived on the steps with minutes to spare. So, I mean, I'm sorry to put you in a tricky position, but I've got to know, like, why didn't you vote? You were here. It's not a tricky position. I shared with you that I missed the vote. There was a traffic jam that was there. It's inexcusable. It's not making an excuse for it. You should have been able to make the vote. It was a procedural vote. But you kind of did make the vote. This was not the vote. I made the subsequent vote. There were three votes in that series for the previous question. Yeah. But I stand by, I was the first member of Congress to ask for Pete Hegseth to be resigned on March 24th of 2025. Which is why I'm so confused. I agree with you. You do feel very strongly. If people turn around and look, you can see that this becomes a very chaotic area right here. But I saw you right here with like minutes to spare. That was my only, like, I'm not, I just think, I know you care, so I'm just confused why you didn't. And I wish I could answer you in any more detail, but I support the movement. Okay. Okay.
