President Donald Trump’s Obamacare replacement bill, aka “Zombie Trumpcare,” just narrowly passed in the House.
The 217-213 vote was broadcast live on many major news channels and on Facebook. Viewers tallied numbers with bated breath, but the sharp eyes of the Internet were quick to notice a discrepancy: One—no, two—Democrats appeared to have voted “yea” to the bill.
Some tweeters were mad—and confused—AF. The phrase “2 Dems” started trending on Twitter.

OK, which 2 Dems are drunkenly pressing the "yes vote" button ...

If they’d kept watching, they’d have noticed the “yea” vote dial back to zero.
So, for those wondering: Ultimately, no House Democrats voted “yea” for Trumpcare.
Those 2 Dems must have been really confused for a minute. But screw GOP who took away #24million people's insurance. #noCBO #awfulpeople pic.twitter.com/KmdO7IKtks
