Biden Says Threats Against Republicans Who Voted for Infrastructure Deal Must 'Stop for the Sake of
America'
While President Joe Biden promotes the programs in a new $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill, he's pushing back on the backlash Republican supporters have faced from members of their own party opposed to the legislation.
"I'm hoping," Biden said Tuesday during a virtual grassroots event with Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison, "that we can get back to a place where there's more civility in politics. I really mean it. And I've never seen it this way."
Following a Senate vote in August, which included 19 Republicans voting in favor, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act passed in the House of Representatives on Friday by a vote of 228 to 206, with 13 Republican representatives joining Democrats in approving the bill.
Many of the Republicans opposed to the spending insisted it was overly broad and wasteful, far beyond what they argued was meaningful investment in "infrastructure."

The GOP hates America at least the part that refuses to vote for them.
