Am I reading this right that the protest only got fifteen people to drop support, but got a whole lot of people who were completely indifferent before to start voicing opposition?
Interesting point. This is ProPublica’s tally, so it’s subject a bunch of factors. Also, it’s not unusual for members of Congress to delay taking a public position until pointedly asked (as I suspect many were during this 24 hour period).
Cool graphic noted by Andrew Sullivan.
A good visual, also good to see the protest made a splash.
