Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) Monday demanded assurances from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) that the bipartisan infrastructure bill is not held “hostage” to reconciliation with “Green New Deal socialism.”
“The President has appropriately delinked a potential bipartisan infrastructure bill from the massive unrelated tax-and-spend plans that Democrats want to pursue on a partisan basis,” McConnell explains in a press release. “Now I am calling on President Biden to engage Leader Schumer and Speaker Pelosi and make sure they follow his lead.”

He has already exposed himself for the bush league chamber of commerce worshipping republiCANT that he is.... Now his communist tendencies are coming to bear....
He reminds me of Barney Frank.
Yeah, they will pinky swear not to do it.
McConnell pretends to care about Americans?
KY’s national embarrassment
Only with Democrats; he plays hard ball with conservatives in the GOP. He nearly single handedly help turn the AL Senate seat Democrat in 2017.
Voters should demand that the bill be posted for 30 days for review before a vote is taken.
You voted on January 6th for this Mitch. Now go lay in the bed you created.
As if congress doing anything is good.
If McConnell demands assurances from the democrats, he just needs to reject everything democrat. McConnell is as swampy as Pelosi and Schmuky and very likely a Chinese mole.
Demand away, Cocaine Mitch. You enabled this.
Tucker Carlson had a segment on this tonight.
The Obama/ Biden Infrastructure plan is coming to your suburb very soon when the plan is implemented with little resistance from Republicans.

Towns could have to chose between forfeiting the money or allowing apartments in every neighborhood and allowing suburban lots to be subdivided for as many houses as will fit
Stealth Goal Of Infrastructure Plan Could Be To Abolish The Suburbs By Bribing Towns To Change Zoning Laws
Democrats may use their massive “infrastructure” plan to bribe local governments to essentially abolish suburbs, by making grants contingent upon towns and counties allowing apartments in any neighborhood, including those currently limited to single-family homes.
That creates two scenarios, both of which benefit Democrats seeking power: If jurisdictions want to preserve a small-town feel, they must turn down the money, meaning the massive infusion of taxpayer dollars turns into a bonanza for Democratic-dominated cities, while leaving others out
Or if centrist suburbs give in to the temptation to take the money, they would essentially be signing a contract to become architecturally dense, like cities — and once those apartments and townhouses were built and filled with residents, they’d likely become solidly Democrat, like most urban areas. Both outcomes would irrevocably and fundamentally transform the country.
USA Today reported in April that “Biden’s proposal would award grants and tax credits to cities that change zoning laws to bolster more equitable access to affordable housing. A house with a white picket fence and a big backyard for a Fourth of July barbecue may be a staple of the American dream, but experts and local politicians say multifamily zoning is key to combating climate change, racial injustice, and the nation’s growing affordable housing crisis.”
The logic is that minorities are “trapped in crowded neighborhoods” that are not pleasant to live in. Yet the solution, under this logic, appears to be making the places suburbanites live more crowded, with apartments and townhouses
