    Happy to see McBride being supported, but where was that support for Al Green?

      Was he on this committee? I have not seen a list of names.

      I misread a preposition, from instead of for.

            So Al Green can only expect support from his own party if he’s on certain committees?

              Sorry, I misread your comment as you were asking where the support FROM Al Green was, not for him.

              I think nokturne might have read “from Al Green”. I did at first

                You are correct… I did read from. Whoops.

                  Ah no biggie, you did come off as someone with a bit different way of thinking.

                  Thanks for clarifying

              I have already twice admitted to having misread a preposition in the comment, I read from rather than for.

        Is that the only thing that deserves defending?
