House Republicans tout infrastructure
funding they voted against
January 24, 2022
In November, Rep. Rob Wittman,
R-Virginia, was one of 205 House
Republicans to vote against the
bipartisan, $1.5 trillion
infrastructure bill, calling it
irresponsible and the "Green New
Deal in disguise."
On Friday, he took to Twitter to
tout funding from the bill he voted
against -- highlighting a $70 million
expansion of the Port of Virginia in
Norfolk -- one of the busiest and
deepest ports in the United States.
Shortly after voting against the
measure last fall, Rep. Gary Palmer,
R-Alabama, celebrated its hundreds
of millions in funding for a stalled
highway project in Birmingham.
Last week, Rep. Kay Granger, R-Texas,
touted new funding for a flood control
project from the package, which she
opposed last year, decrying it at the
time as a "so-called infrastructure
bill."
Rep. Ashley Hinson, R-Iowa, a freshman
lawmaker who also voted against the
infrastructure bill, celebrating new
"game-changing" funding to upgrade
locks along the Upper Mississippi River.
Democrats have been quick to call out
Republicans who voted against the
infrastructure deal and recent COVID-19
relief package while praising elements
of the legislation, criticizing them
for "voting no and taking the dough."
�When these Republicans had the chance
to actually do something good for their
constituents, they refused,� Nebeyatt
Betre, a spokesperson for the
Democratic Congressional Campaign
Committee, said in a statement. �We�re
not going to let them get away with this
blatant attempt to rewrite history.�

They're all like Sen. Randal Howard Paul. Without government money they'd
have no paycheck, food on the table or a roof over their heads.
