Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) says that the bipartisan $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill, which cleared Congress on Friday and is awaiting President Biden's signature, is a “godsend” for his state.
McConnell spoke in Morehead, Ky., on Monday, noting the Bluegrass State has "a lot" of infrastructure needs after touring a facility for indoor farming company AppHarvest, according to CBS News affiliate WKYT.
He pointed to Kentucky's infrastructure report card from the American Society of Civil Engineers, which gives it a C-minus.
“I’m surprised we even got a C,” McConnell told WKYT. “We have a lot of infrastructure needs, both in rural areas and with big bridges. It’s a godsend for Kentucky.”
The House managed to pass the infrastructure package by a 228-206 tally late Friday evening, sending it to Biden’s desk.
The lower chamber then passed a rule establishing debate parameters for a larger, $1.75 trillion social spending package that’s expected to pass via reconciliation with only Democratic support.
The Senate passed the infrastructure bill in August, with McConnell being one of 19 Republicans who voted with Democrats in support.
Former President Trump on Sunday bashed McConnell and “all Republicans who voted for Democrat longevity” 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!”
House Republicans who voted in support of the bill have recounted receiving angry and threatening messages since Friday.
Speaking at a separate event in Covington, Ky., on Monday, McConnell said he is “delighted” that the House found a way to pass the bill, according to a local NPR affiliate.
“This will be the first time I have come up here in a quarter of a century where I thought maybe there was a way forward on the Brent Spence Bridge,” he added, referring to the bridge that connects northern Kentucky to Ohio.
Sorry POS turn coat! WHAT DID YOU GET FOR GIVING THE BJ and TAKING IT IN THE *SS RINO?
Hurrah for Kentucky but F the nation! - Mitch $ McCarthy
Come bailout my state as we mismanaged it so much.
Why didn’t you support PRESIDEN TRUMP, traitor MITCH? He had an infrastructure bill and the country was BOOMING!
What garbage……right Brandon ?
Excuse me?
Translation: Forget about the majority of the bill’s money authorizations, $700 billion of the $1.2 trillion, that has nothing to do with “infrastructure” and forget about all the Marxist inspired political crap the bill writes into law regarding how “infrastructure” spending projects must be judged and approved (”fairness”, “equity”, “diversity”, ect., ect., to McConnell those things are minor, he got federal taxpayers’ money sent to HIS state, THAT’s all that was important to him.
That is how the Left buys the votes of the RINOS, getting their political agendas wrapped up in money bills that dole out just enough to just enough RINO senators willing to ignore what the true long term nature of a bill is really all about.
The posterity in Kentucky will suffer like the rest of America, thanks to the impending destruction of our economic system. We are eating the meat off the bones of our children and grandchildren. Damned elitist fool, Mitch.

So want did you get Mitch while the majority of the people in Kentucky is dealing with inflation, etc. What a fool!
And there you have it——who thinks he’s here for America?
Sometimes a Turtle should just leave
Spraying perfume on a hog doesn’t hide the hog.
There you have it (as if there was any reason to think otherwise): McConnell calls government pork he brings home to his state in order to enrich himself and his cronies “godsend”. What a choice of words. The government and its denizens are “G-d” and they are sending us stuff. See? Sickening.
But McConnell is NOT a godsend to Kentucky.

What did you expect from a bunch of traitors that have money as their master?
.......A “Godsend”, regarding the 36 Million Dollar Man McConnell, would be for God to go ahead with that tap on the shoulder that we all get sooner or later.
The man’s the worst kind of crook and criminal. The “worst kind” of crook and criminal being those that wear a coat and tie and big smile on their face every day.
