No fewer than six Republicans joined with every single Democrat save one to force an end to Trump's tariffs on Canada.

The litany of shame is as follows:

Reps. Don Bacon (R-Neb.),

Kevin Kiley (R-Calif.),

Thomas Massie (R-Ky.),

Jeff Hurd (R-Colo.), Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.),

Dan Newhouse (R-Wash.)

I used to respect Massie but no more; he's pulling the old John McCain trick of thumbing his own party in the eye. And Fitzpatrick? Et tu?

That Squeeker Johnson couldn't hold his own caucus together over this is a testament to his comparable weakness.

There is absolutely no excuse for this; tariffs on Canada forced them to the table already and they have been slowly but surely coming around. They made some changes already to their own tax code to grant better access to the U.S. as well as have cracked down on border security. The tariffs were working as planned and along come these n to pull the rug out from under the Administration, taking away their leverage.

What is the point of electing Republicans if they are going to screw us?
