the amendment is a separate vote from the main bill, she could have voted yes on the amendment and no on the bill. Imagine the allies sending ”defensive” weapons to WWII germany.

I see everyone's point but without the bill there is no military financing and no defensive weapons. The fact that it's MTGs amendment surely played a part in her decision.
