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.
