McConnell stirs GOP intrigue with support for Biden’s infrastructure bill

Moments before the Senate took a pivotal vote on its bipartisan infrastructure deal, negotiators zeroed in on the most important undecided member: Mitch McConnell.

That McConnell took such care before revealing his stance reflects deep divisions in his conference over whether to hand Biden a victory on a bill with shaky financing that wasn’t even drafted as it came to the Senate floor. McConnell had opposed the bill on procedural grounds just a week ago, lamenting that moving forward on unwritten legislation did not make sense.

Complicating matters for Republicans, former President Donald Trump vehemently opposes the bipartisan proposal. He even threatened to oust Republicans who supported it about ten minutes after McConnell announced his own position. “I’ve always thought he was for this bill. I think he’s been for the bill since Day One,” said Sen. John Kennedy , who has opposed moving forward.

“I know that this is a very popular bill. I think [McConnell’s] glad we’re working on a bipartisan bill, where we have input,” Ernst said in an interview on Friday. “He has not asked me to support. I think he feels very strongly we should each evaluate that bill on our own.”

As long as a big portion of that bill goes to rich bastards that don't need it,no surprise coming from this old Koke sucker

LeaderMcConnell has a very fragile ego. This should be about what’s good for the country but he wants it to be about him.

Remember the GOPTaxScam? You know, the legislation that GQP passed and locked out Democrats from helping with the bill? McConnell can get lost now.

Stey a wey from door Be Rush pey & hawe Europ Winn ..loosed Keany & Devy eny case &..no Tex.. Gouvernement

Yeah, bc he thinks his state will get some money which will get him re-elected. It’s funny how socialism is the answer when it benefits your role/state.

Mitch must’ve got a flat tire on one of those roads in Kentucky

Their agreement will be written by democrats together with republicans.

It figures … your word is NO good

Hey Mitch isn’t the infrastructure Bill about what’s best for the American People

The Democrats should just change it to their liking. Not a single a Senator will be reading a 1450 page bill.

I’ve asked before and I’m asking now- why does ONE MAN HAVE THIS MUCH POWER

Right after a we wank of boss sauce. Wink wink nudge nudge

How about you just do what’s right for the American people?

Hold tight. Fix the traditional infrastructure but make sure that the money goes for that only and not Pelosi’s subway projects. We’re close to exceeding our GDP with our expenditures. Bad things happen to nations when this happens. The Dems are not interested in bi-partisanship.

…and there it Is….AGAIN, SHOCKING!

I cant wait to see him gone

It's bad when people are getting alarmed by articles like whhhhhaaaaaaat democrats and republicans are actually working together annnnnnmd possibly agreeing on something?

Omg. I wrote this exact thought to my R Senator months ago.

Even the “grim reaper” doesn’t like the “Devil” talking shit about him.

We’ve seen this movie before.

McConnell never agrees to anything that doesn't benefit him and his party or hurt his political opponents. What may appear to be 'bipartisan' is seldom so if McC has anything to say about it.

Other than Jan 6. Was anything more disgusting, last year, than Trump running lawful protesters out of Lafayette Park and then sacrilegiously appearing with a Bible? On July 18 2015, Trump publicly insulted POW's and veterans. Republicans elected him. Dark days for America.

So, it doesn’t matter whether or not it’s good for the country, it only matters who wrote it.

Meaning Mitch would support it only if Senate *Republicans* wrote it. I'm not sure that's how democracy works, Turtle.

How does Mitch still get to dictate terms? Remember how Republicans behaved just last year when they were in power.

Translation: I have just grabbed rug firmly with both hands…. Stand by.

So he will agree if he gets to play leader, what a freaking joke, even funnier that treat Mitch like the leader.

This will only serve to prove to voters in 2022 that Republicans were willing to do ONE thing for America while they starved the beast. 🇺🇸 GOPDeathCult
