A group of eight House Republicans joined the majority of Democrats to support President Joe Biden’s suspension of United States tariffs on suspected China-made solar panels. Nonetheless, a bill to reverse the tariff suspension passed the House with support from 209 Republicans and 12 Democrats.

In June 2022, Biden announced a 24-month tariff moratorium on solar panel imports from Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia. Commerce Department officials suspect that the solar panels are actually made in China but have been routed through the four southeast Asian nations to avoid U.S. tariffs on China-made solar panels.

The suspension of tariffs came even as Biden’s Commerce Department found that BYD Hong Kong rerouted its production through Cambodia, Canadian Solar, Trina through Thailand, and Vina Solar through Vietnam for the sole purpose of avoiding the tariffs.

On Friday, 209 House Republicans and 12 Democrats passed a resolution to reverse Biden’s tariff suspension while eight House Republicans — primarily from New York — joined 194 Democrats to oppose the effort.

The eight House Republicans who backed Biden’s tariff waivers are:

Rep. John Curtis (R-UT)
Rep. Anthony D’Esposito (R-NY)
Rep. Andrew Garbarino (R-NY)
Rep. Nicholas LaLota (R-NY)
Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY)
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY)
Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA)
Rep. Marcus Molinaro (R-NY)

At the risk of pointing out the obvious. That's a concerning component of NY.

Massie is a surprise. I half expected to see Crenshaw on that list.

Why do we NEVER hear 12 Dems support a republican action? Why are the republicans such spineless jellyfish? The little 'r' is intentional.

^^The majority all seem to be in bed together and use the "R" word to get elected.

In this case, 12 Dems DID support the Republican action. Not sure if I misread your post?

I don't think it has anything to do with their spines but more to do with their bank accounts. Sadly, it doesn't cost China much to buy up these politicians by hook or by crook.

I suspect that if some news organization looked into it seriously they would find that every single Senator and Congress person is a multi millionaire. Considering the cost of living in the DC area this means that every single Senator and Congress person is "on the take". Meaning they all, every single one of them, takes bribes.

If you ever wonder why we have votes such as this it's very easy to answer. It's because they were paid enough to vote this way.

Yeah, they redrew our districts and now he's our Rep. :/

No big news here. All NY “Republicans” are democraps by design. We know what they are and have no other’s options. NY has circled the toilet and is ready for the sewer. 2 years to go and I’m outta here.
