## Video Shows Republicans Fist Bumping After Blocking Veteran Healthcare Bill

Authored by newsweek.com

Republican Senators have been criticized for fist bumping on the Senate floor after the GOP blocked a bill that would have expanded healthcare coverage for military veterans exposed to toxic burn pits during their service.

All but one of the 42 Senators who voted against the bill were Republicans, including 25 who previously supported it in June.

The Senate had to vote for the PACT Act again because of a technical change the House made to the bill.

The Montana Democrat Party shared a similar video along with the caption "Steve Danies BETRAYED sick veterans and CELEBRATED it with a fist bump.

Hayes then played the clip of Cruz and Daines fist bumping as the "no" votes were being read out.

Democrats were aware of this concern before yesterday's vote but ignored it and refused to allow a vote to fix the bill.

Democrats must work with Republicans and fix this issue to prevent inflationary spending that will hurt all Americans. »

If they conclude that peaceful reunification is no longer an option with Taiwan, a military strike from China will be ‘massive and overwhelming’.
