Speaker cites opposition to law-enforcement tribute, says most Democrats voted against resolution
Summary
On the House floor, a lawmaker said a resolution by Rep. Zach Nunn to honor law enforcement was opposed by 86% of Democrats and used the vote to argue a partisan contrast; the transcript records the claim but does not include vote records.
A lawmaker on the House floor cited a resolution by Rep. Zach Nunn to pay tribute to law-enforcement officers and said that 86% of Democrats voted against the measure last week.
The lawmaker said that voting no on the resolution contradicts professed support for police and used the vote to criticize the Democratic Party, describing the outcome as evidence of a "defund the police" trend among Democrats.
The transcript attributes the 86% figure to the lawmaker but does not include a roll-call vote, the resolution number, or any statement from Rep. Nunn or Democratic members in response. The lawmaker's remarks are a partisan characterization of a prior vote rather than a record of action included in this transcript.
The transcript does not record any subsequent debate or formal motion on the resolution during the remarks.
