BREAKING: Darrell Issa Votes Against Aviation Safety

Darrell Issa just showed once again how out-of-touch he is with California – this time by voting against a bipartisan aviation safety bill. 

Issa cast the deciding vote against the ROTOR Act, bipartisan legislation which “would have required planes to carry a type of tracking technology that federal investigators determined could have helped avoid a midair collision over the Potomac River last year that killed 67 people.”

Before Issa cast his inexplicable vote, the chair of the National Transportation Safety Board told reporters“How many more people need to die for us to decide that action needs to be taken?”

Issa’s vote is a slap in the face to all of the victims and their families of the Potomac River crash. 

DCCC Spokesperson Anna Elsasser:
“On vote after vote, Darrell Issa continues to put Southern Californians and their safety last.”
