That's something that has always weirded me out. Super-blue districts send partisan zealots like Maxine Waters to represent them, but super-red ones send blatant turncoats like Crenshaw and Kevin McCarthy - snakes who absolutely can't wait to stab their supposed constituents in the back, again and again and again. It even extends to the Senate seats, states which are supposed to be strongly to hyper-conservative like Texas or South Dakota are represented in the upper chamber by McConnell proteges like John Cornyn & John Thune instead. If the Democrats ever have a similar problem at least their 'problematic' Senator comes from a state where them not marching in lockstep with the turbo-progs makes sense, like Manchin from WV. What gives?
The explanation seems easy. Maxine Waters types are supported by the establishment. Matt Gaetz types are opposed by the establishment. Indulging Waters has no cost for the Democratic Party, while indulging Gaetz would be very costly indeed to the GOP - in terms of the amount of establishment blowback they would get.
The only thing about this story you can count on is that everyone that tells it tells a different story. Just remember that no matter how it comes out, they never needed a warrant to spy on us and we should all be upset, outraged and in turmoil 24/7
We could try not using our R+15 districts to send guys like Crenshaw and McCain to Congress.

In other words, the party decides.
The usual suspects - Pelosi, Schiff, Eyepatch McCain and Tony Gonzales - all voted precisely as you would expect.

The best way to control the opposition is to lead it.
TPTB voting to protect the people.
