House Republicans Who Backed Infrastructure Bill Face Vicious Backlash
The New York Times ^ | Thu, November 11, 2021, | Catie Edmondson

WASHINGTON — One caller instructed Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois to slit his wrists and “rot in hell.” Another told Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska that they hoped he slipped and fell down a staircase. The office of Rep. Nicole Malliotakis of New York has been inundated with angry messages tagging her as a “traitor.”
Investing in the nation’s roads and bridges was once considered one of the last realms of bipartisanship in Congress, and President Joe Biden’s infrastructure bill drew ample support over the summer from Republicans in the Senate. But in the days since 13 House Republicans broke with their party leaders and voted for the $1 trillion legislation last week, they have been flooded by menacing messages from voters — and even some of their own colleagues — who regard their votes as a betrayal.

Maybe because they helped a President with a 35% approval rating and passed a bill to destroy the economy?

13 traitors and 13 loops in a hangman’s noose.
Purely a coincidence I’m sure.
Dang, this is probably going to add to the tally of threats.
Just kidding dear representatives.

What percentage of the so-called”infrastructure” bill would be for roads and bridges? 5? 10?

Investing in the nation’s roads and bridges

Another media/Democrat lie. Maybe 10% of the bill is for roads and bridges and that is years away if it ever gets done. This is just another Democrat bait and switch bill that claims it's for roads but actually is chock full of pork for the Dems favorite boondoggles.

I saw a video from The Five and one of them said how much but I don’t remember. It wasn’t much. The gist of the discussion was that the roads separated white and minority neighborhoods and this money would “fix the inequity”. The truth was that it had nothing to do with race and everything to do with separating the poor and middle class/upward neighborhoods with roads. They separated according to wealth, not race.

10 cents infrastructure and 90 cents pork. We are stuck with the bill and are supposed to be happy about it?
