'They Ain't Got No Shame': Biden Brutally Mocks Republicans Bragging About Projects They Voted...

...Against

Mediaite

By Michael Luciano Sep 8th, 2022, 8:39 pm

President Joe Biden took some congressional Republicans to task for voting against legislation whose provisions they later took credit for.

Several Republican lawmakers touted provisions in legislation Biden signed last year even after they voted against them.

Speaking at a reception for the Democratic National Committee on Thursday night, the president boasted of his accomplishments while chiding Republicans.

“We also passed once-in-a-generation investment in the nation’s roads, highways, bridges, railroads, ports, airports, water systems, high-speed internet,” Biden told the crowd, referencing the bipartisan infrastructure bill he signed into law last year

“We got a little help from Republicans, but not a lot. But enough to get it passed,” Biden explained. “The truth is, there are a lot more Republicans taking credit for that bill than actually voted for it.”

Obama spent 8 years behind the 8 ball as the nation's first black president (with an Arabic sounding name to boot).

He weathered it all with incredible patience, grace, and aplomb, but none of us should ever forget what he had to contend with.

in sept 2008 he also made up a silly pretext, after rw media claimed an obama staffer made a mistake and should be fired, to say "obama's head needs to roll"

media, dems, never noticed
