After the recent voting down of background checks in Washington this week, many Americans were aggravated with Congress's supposed representation of the American people. After all, when 90% of Americans support an idea, yet it is not made into law, one could expect this aggravation. This Huffington Post article and video reinforces this concept, headlining that five senators have had their approval ratings slide significantly after voting against the large majority of Americans.
The tone of the article and video is very clear and almost condescending toward the senators and lawmakers that disagree with the American public. While listening to the newswoman's voice and reading the article, one can easily picture a chiding finger pointed at these Republican senators. Also, to balance out this tone, the video in particular brings up a counterargument claiming that one senator's approval ratings in particular might have dropped because of other policies, such as immigration policy.
