Republican Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie have voted against a GOP-led bill aimed at sanctioning China for harvesting the organs of its citizens. Greene and Massie were the only members of the House of Representatives to oppose the Stop Forced Organ Harvesting Act on Monday and the legislation passed with a bipartisan majority of 413 to 2. The bill was authored by Republican Representative Chris Smith of New Jersey, who celebrated the passage of the legislation in a press release on Monday that described "the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) ghoulish industry of stealing organs from young people" and the legislation now moves to the Senate for further consideration.

It was not immediately clear why Massie and Greene opposed the legislation but they have previously drawn attention for voting against measures that passed with overwhelming support.

She has since explained her vote: https://twitter.com/RepMTG/status/1640729519236554757

She's a Russian agent. Arrest her already.

I swear Ultimate Karen is never in the news for doing something good, never.

Does this legislation actually do anything, or is it just an angry letter?

The summary from the Congress website.

This bill imposes sanctions on persons (individuals and entities) involved in forced organ trafficking and authorizes the Department of State to revoke the passports of individuals convicted of certain crimes related to organ trafficking.

Specifically, the President must report to Congress a list of persons that facilitate (1) forced organ harvesting, or (2) trafficking in persons for organ harvesting. For each person on the list, the President must impose property- and visa-blocking sanctions.

Furthermore, the State Department may deny or revoke the passport of an individual who has been convicted of a federal crime of knowingly transferring any human organ for valuable consideration for use in human transplantation, if the individual (1) is subject to imprisonment or supervised release resulting from that conviction, and (2) used a passport or crossed an international border when committing that crime.

The angry letter is part of it too, it looks like it's mostly just a pledge saying, "Yeah, we'll try and encourage voluntary organ donation when we meet with other countries."

So even her stupid idiot complaint doesn't seem to be valid, so she probably didn't actually read the bill.

WotC is really going downhill
