“Extreme” House Democrats are holding the $1.2 trillion so-called bipartisan infrastructure bill “hostage,” Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) lamented in a statement Friday.
Romney released his statement after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi failed to hold a vote Thursday on the bipartisan infrastructure bill, or the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
Leftist Democrats, led by House progressive caucus chair Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), whipped up her fellow progressives against the bipartisan bill because they want to move forward on the $3.5 trillion Build Back Better Act.
In his statement, Romney claimed progressives continue to hold the bill hostage and that the bipartisan has nothing to do with the Build Back Better Act.
He said:
This week, my colleagues in the House made a purely political decision to block a vote on much-needed, broadly supported legislation to fix America’s crumbling infrastructure. It is unacceptable that a major piece of bipartisan legislation, which is vital to our economy and necessary to keep important transportation programs going, is being held hostage by the most extreme House Democrats for a completely unrelated and still unwritten piece of legislation. What a profound disappointment, and how unfortunate to put politics over what is good for our country.
Despite Romney’s claim, the $3.5 trillion budget resolution, which serves as the legislative vehicle for the radical Build Back Better, contains language that proves the link between the two bills.

Shut up Mittens.
In this particular hostage scenario, hope they end up shooting the hostage.
Romney molests collies.
I don’t care what Romney the traitor thinks about anything except life after government or jail.
Ditto that!
No one cares what Senator Stupid here has to say about anything
Define extreme Mitt.
Sorry Willard. You march with the screaming bombthrowers (BLM), you gotta pay the piper.
I am ashamed of you.
My first thought!
He badly wants this to pass, it’s political gold.
Says the Major Idiot who all made this happen.
Mittens still thinks he is going to be President someday.
He won’t even win the primary in his home state.
Willard, the psychopath carpetbagger who thinks he is god,
ruined this entire country with his conceit as he attacked
the most beloved President in US history.
Look at the mess we have now because of the
widespread sedition and the Romney backstabbing.
Oh good grief, RINOmney is as useful as an appendix. Wish we could perform a RINOectomy on that miserable excuse for a human.
Willard wants his rightful share of the loot.
Like a rancid fart in church, Mittens is...
I can't see how in any way, shape, or form he represents Utah. Reminds me of Lizard Cheney. Yet he gets re-elected???
Which mittens is to the left of them. Duh.
Mutt the nut gives his latest unsolicited opinion. The Earth yawns.
