When the 1994 #crimebill landed on my lap, I took the opportunity to try & prevent more images like yummy's from being burned into our memories. I voted yes just like many of my colleagues including @BernieSanders because we didn't know the consequences at the time.
Since then, we have both apologized for our role in passing the bill. You can challenge my judgment in voting, yes, but you cannot challenge my motivation. I was hired by the people to serve my district, & at the time, I felt I made the right choice. I know differently now.
Congressman, I didn’t question your motivations for voting “yes” on the Crime Bill. I do believe that your intentions were good. There is however a difference between intention vs. impact. You apologize by doing better. You apologize by saying “no” to Bloomberg for POTUS.
