So, I always take what I read hear with a grain of salt. In this case I found it hard to believe that the OP was telling the truth or that there was at least more to the story. Turns out that Congressman Beyer did vote against a bill that amends a Federal statute against sexual exploitation of a minor to protect child pornography victims by closing a loophole that requires the Defendant to have specific intent to produce child pornography prior to abusing a child.
I took a look at the bill and it covers some pretty depraved freaks out there. I can't in my right mind understand why he voted against this bill. He was only one of 51 Congressmen to vote against it.
When you've got 137 Democrats and 221 Republicans voting for something, it's probably a good idea considering they never agree on anything.
So yeah, Beyer has some 'splainin to do.
