Former President Trump on Sunday doubled down on his criticism of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and other Senate Republicans who voted in favor of passing a $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill.
“All Republicans who voted for Democrat longevity should be ashamed of themselves, in particular Mitch McConnell, for granting a two month stay which allowed the Democrats time to work things out at our Country’s, and the Republican Party’s, expense!” Trump said in a statement.
The former president called Republican lawmakers who voted in favor of the bill “RINOs” — a widely used term he favors that means “Republicans in name only.” Trump suggested that Democrats would take advantage of Republicans by enlisting their support to pass their $1.75 trillion social spending bill.
“How about all of those Republican Senators that voted thinking that helping the Democrats is such a wonderful thing to do, so politically correct. They just don’t get it!” Trump said.
On Friday, House Democrats finally managed to vote on the bipartisan infrastructure bill by a 228-206 tally to send a $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill to President Biden’s desk. Three Democratic caucuses negotiated a deal that also passed a procedural rule that would tee up a future vote on Democrats’ social spending bill.
Trump's targeting of Senate Republicans comes after the chamber passed the infrastructure bill in a 69-30 vote that included 19 GOP senators, including McConnell.
The House vote also included the support of 13 Republicans but not six progressive Democrats.
Hours before the Senate was poised to vote on ending debate on the infrastructure bill in August, Trump again bashed McConnell and other Republican lawmakers for supporting the bill. Trump also said that he could use their support of the legislation as a weapon for future endorsements.
“Joe Biden’s infrastructure bill is a disgrace,” Trump wrote at the time. “If Mitch McConnell was smart, which we’ve seen no evidence of, he would use the debt ceiling card to negotiate a good infrastructure package.”
Republicans didn’t want to look “ obstructionist “. That’s the Lefts m.o.
Thank you Donald. Keep pounding the suck.
Those GOP snakes deserve all the bashing they can get.
TRAITORS!!!
Is this the Bill that will flood the US with Chinese Electric Vehicles ?
Just wait until they revisit the debt ceiling....
RINO bump for later....
Thank you PDJT!!!!!!
As always, Follow the Money. We will soon learn what is in that Pork Laden Monstrosity that benefited those RINO’s at the expense of We the People and our country.
This wasn’t a bipartisan bill.
The only reason two parties still exist is to give voters the illusion of choice.
The letter after the name means jack anymore.
A pol is either loyal to our former republic or to Deep State.
The pols that voted for this abomination are Deep State.
Yes
I will co-opt a quote from Barry Goldwater:
Obstructionism in the face of tyranny is no vice while moderation in defense of liberty is no virtue.
Trump right again.
Republican RINOs wrong again.
Why does the Left constantly have the Right buffaloed?
Because the Non-Patriotic Right doesn’t have individual freedom and independence in their hearts.
They’re more interested in politically-correct popular culture and their political future than they are the future of America and the American People.
Those GOP snakes deserve all the bashing they can get.
**************
Its not bashed enough. Its a gutless party that is only worthy of derision.
McCarthy and the GOP leadership use these RINO's to help out the democrats. Then the leadership will come on radio and TV to bullsh@#% the idiots who listen to them so faithfully.
Another Brandon Media mouthpiece for The Shill...
