Fanatical Republican Extremist of the Day: Alex Mooney- 2023 Update [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2023-06-09 December 1st, 2022: Rep. Mooney is one of 90 Republicans who vote against HR 6878 , meaning he is perfectly fine with pregnant women in prison being placed in solitary confinement while claiming to be “pro-life”. July 21st, 2022: Mooney is one of 195 Republicans who vote against the Right to Contraception Act , which codified the right of Americans to have access to birth control. July 13th, 2022: Mooney votes against the Honoring Our PACT Act , to provide healthcare to veterans affected by toxic burn pits while serving in the War on Terror that leave them more susceptible to forms of cancer. July 15th, 2022: Alex Mooney votes against House Amendment 262 , which would require the FBI, Department of Homeland Security, and Secretary of Defense to publish a report on the infiltration of American law enforcement by Neo-Nazis and white supremacists, offer measures to be taken to remove them from their ranks, and prevent further infiltration by others. March 31st, 2022: Mooney votes against HR 6833 , the Affordable Insulin Now Act, which would limit the cost that drug companies could list insulin at to $35 and make sure no diabetic was priced out of surviving their condition. Bill Johnson would rather they be gouged by pharmaceutical giants and/or die. March 17th, 2021: Rep. Mooney can’t be bothered to turn up to vote for the re-authorization of the Violence Against Women Act , likely because they feel the 2nd Amendment remaining absolute is more important than preventing people with a history of domestic abuse from owning a firearm. January 13th, 2021: Rep. Mooney votes against the second impeachment of Donald Trump , because the Republican Party no longer feels like they should be accountable for anything, including failed coups that result in the deaths of police officers. January 6th, 2021: Alex Mooney votes for the objection to the electoral college’s votes in the 2020 election , a failure to send any sort of message that he wasn’t intimidated or sympathetic to those who attacked the Capitol to attempt a violent coup. December 10th, 2020: Mooney signs his name to an amicus brief to the Supreme Court, begging them to overturn the results of the 2020 election . The same election that he won re-election in. January 27th, 2019: Alex Mooney voted against HJR 30 , which was meant to express disapproval of Donald Trump not acting against Russian Federation for attacking our democracy. You see, he’s fine with our nation being sublet to Vladimir Putin. We thought Alex Mooney might be in a bit of trouble headed into the 2022 elections, even though his district is one of the reddest in the country… and that’s because the three West Virginia Republicans holding House seats had to play musical chairs, what with the state’s population radically dropping enough that it lost a Congressional seat. Alas, Mooney defeated U.S. House Rep. David McKinley in the primary for the new WV-2, accusing McKinley of being a RINO because he… voted for the Infrastructure Bill… just… goddamn. Mooney went on to win in the general election with 65.5% of the vote.
