1. These are your people, Congressman.

This is the Republican Party.

[BeckyDem]

2. Precisely.

Cultivated over decades of greed first, ignore science, and religious zealots.

[CrispyQ]

8. +1

They cultivated the zealots, loons, & supremacists, & now they're surprised they took over their party. One could almost laugh if it weren't such a deplorable, dangerous bunch.

[Raster]

30. TRUTH!!!

They did everything they could to court the CRAZEEE vote, and are surprised they not only want a seat at the table, THEY WANT THE WHOLE TABLE.

I wish Ronnie the Raygun* was alive just to see the mess he helped create.

[BeckyDem]

37. Absolutely, they are a danger. We have people with no sense of humanity, no sense of

humility, none. I believe we need to keep them out of power for a least a decade, at minimum.

[Haggard Celine]

3. Yep. Anybody who supports Trump

supports these people. This is their constituency.

[The Magistrate]

7. I Love It When These People Get To Know Their Constituents, Sir

Because you know this shit-heel has spent his whole career cultivating the votes of people just like the one who now wishes his whole family dead because he did something right, that's good for the people and the country.

[Champp]

9. The Republican party seethes with unjustified hate

and it oozes out on all people who fail to OBEY.

Independent Thinkers will be eliminated (R).

Only OBEDIENT proles will be allowed to serve the Republican Oligarchy.

[Xipe Totec]

16. GOP - Gaggle of OBEDIENT Proles. Good one. nt

[Champp]

21. #GOP.GaggleOfObedientProles

Now going viral...

[hadEnuf]

20. They are quite litterally evolving into their own version of the Nazi Party.

Militant mobs, threats, violence and a twisted version of a Reichstag fire. We either fully understand that we need to stop this now and fight them or we will soon wind up in a position where we will not be able to fight them at all.

[KS Toronado]

4. Love to see more repugs turn on the people they voted for.

Keep the whole R party disorganized.

[Traildogbob]

31. Republicans in disarray

Come in media! THIS is disarray. Dems are not anxiously willing to kill the whole families of those they voted for. Maybe throw a shoe at Manchin and Sinema, but not calling to slaughter their whole families. Different levels of disarray.

[Johnny2X2X]

5. Trump

It's 100% about what Trump wants. Trump didn't get an infrastructure deal, so he didn't want Biden to get one. Has 0 to do with what's in the bill. That's how demented GOP voters are now.

[Ray Bruns]

19. Trump didn't get an infrastructure deal because he never tried to

get an infrastructure deal.

[Hortensis]

6. Backlash against the 13 who voted for the BIL and McCarthy for

losing control and not killing the bill. Although McConnell and the senate had passed it, the new line pushed by house scum like Gaetz and Greene was that it was Joe Biden's commie takeover of America masquerading as infrastructure. A few traitors were expected to vote for it anyway, but not 13 (6 of them were from NY and NJ).

[ProudMNDemocrat]

10. Here is the TRUTH and yell it from the rafters....

Republicans are against...

Roads
Bridges
Airports
Ports
Internet
Waterways
Railroads
Secure buildings

Everything they use everyday. Call out these hypocrites.

[nilram]

11. Had a Kentucky accent and a Senate telephone number.

[onenote]

38. Is that supposed to be a reference to McConnell? He voted for the bill.

[nilram]

39. Rand Paul voted against it

[onenote]

40. got it

I guess Rand hates Kentucky.

[roamer65]

12. Upton is one of the last of a breed.

A somewhat sane Repuke.

[Kid Berwyn]

13. Don't like his politics, however, Upton is good people.

Unlike the MAGAts, he does not work to overthrow elections or the Constitution.

Full disclosure: I grew up in St. Joseph, Michigan. While I don’t know him personally, we know several people in common. The guy’s family made their money through ingenuity and hard work, yet he was kind to the regular folk and no show-off.

[roamer65]

35. Wouldn't surprise me if he retires in the next couple of years.

His area is trending Democratic and frankly if I were in his shoes, I would be considering given this kind of garbage.

[BlueJac]

14. Nice folks in that Republican party.

[Evolve Dammit]

15. Cult 45 is vile and dangerous. I hope some of these MAGATS are identified and charged with criminal

threatening.

[SoCalDavidS]

17. Low Hanging Fruit

Since DOJ isn't going after those at the top, perhaps they'll give menial sentences to those at the bottom.

[DemUnleashed]

18. The most vile people!

Truly, all Trumplicans are the most vile, disgusting group of people! If someone is still a trumplican at this point, calling them a basket of deplorables, is way, way, way too kind!

And wow that is one of the best descriptions I've heard....Cult 45!!

[IronLionZion]

22. People really hate infrastructure

Roads, bridges, water, energy, jobs, etc. are just terrible

[NoMoreRepugs]

23. I'm 100% certain the "caller" isn't a 1%er and a self-made man. He's angry at EVERYTHING that is

going to make his life better. How do these people button their shirts being that stupid??

[LetMyPeopleVote]

24. These RWNJs are scary

[Buckeyeblue]

25. The first question to Little Freddy should have been, did you vote for Trump?

Because I bet in 2016 he did.

[njhoneybadger]

26. What a lovely sentiment.

I just went to Fred Upton's website, this is a recent headline.

Upton, Dingell Seek Urgent Answers and Further Ass...

[gab13by13]

27. Town halls are probably out of the question.

[Bluethroughu]

28. His party and former resident of the Whitehouse cheers these

Psychos on. The traitors are the members of Congress supporting this seditious behavior. The Republicans hate this country, they'll take whatever their donors offer for a replacement.

Eisenhower is rolling over in this grave!

[efhmc]

29. Such lovely people. We should never forget for a moment who "they

are.

[iluvtennis]

32. There isn't a place in this country that doesn't need new/retrofitted infrastructure, so the

action of this caller/others like him is simply HATE of seeing a democratic administration achieve something.

And people like this caller advance the notion that they love America - they don't love America because if they did, they'd want to see America gleaming with new/retrofitted highways, airports, bridges, railways, etc.

ugggh, they are illogical and I just can't understand illogical folks

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

33. Some really sick assholes

You're a traitor to the cause because you want to help your district.

[Corgigal]

34. You played with these unadjusted

people for years. Of course, they are gonna turn on you. That’s all on you, and you fear it republicans.

[Skittles]

36. deplorable

right, Fred?

[live love laugh]

41. This proves how big of a deal the bill is.

They want it to be a failure but they know it is a success.

So they send out their hacks to do their dirty work.
