Kennedy: Calling the Bill an Infrastructure Bill Is Like Calling Anthony Weiner a Saint

EXCERPT:

KENNEDY: "Sean, I am disappointed. In my opinion, we Republicans in the Senate keep finding new ways to lose, to lose on policy and to lose on politics. Opposing President Biden’s infrastructure bill should’ve been a fat guy layup. It would take me two hours to outline its deficiency. From the bottom of my heart, I mean it. It’s real swamp stuff. They told us that it was about real infrastructure. It wasn’t. Calling this bill an infrastructure bill is like calling Anthony Weiner a saint. There’s more Green New Deal and welfare in this bill than infrastructure. They told us the bill was paid for. It isn't. They told us the bill wouldn’t raise taxes. It does. They told us the bill wouldn’t contribute to inflation and higher prices. It will. They told us that this bill, if we passed the infrastructure bill, would make it harder to pass President Biden’s companion bill, the 4 to $5 trillion tax and spending binge reconciliation act that we are debating right now. It will make it easier to pass that act.“
