Is she claiming she voted no for MTGs amendment to the DoD budget but also voted no to the budget as a whole?
She's just obfuscating the criticism by defending against a weaker argument. Some people may have been implying that she voted yes on the bill as a whole, but she voted no. This is burying the lede that she voted no on the amendment that would've stopped Iron Dome funding.
I honestly think she was too scared to vote with MTG on anything meaning she cares more about her personal image than Palestine. The amendment was clearly a protest vote and she didn't show up when Tlaib and Omar did. Voting against the DoD budget as a whole is basically a protest vote.
