The White House assailed Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday, criticizing him for threatening to sink a bipartisan bill aiming to fortify US economic competitiveness against China as Democrats move ahead with their own policy package.

"Instead of spreading weak falsehoods and offering China a windfall at our expense if it means protecting big pharma's capacity to price gouge, Senator McConnell should work with us against the global challenge of inflation," White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said in a statement.

The White House also swung back against McConnell attacking Democrats for pursuing tax increases in their economic policy bill that is being assembled behind closed doors. They intend to pass the measure using the reconciliation process on their own without Republican support. But the maneuver requires all 50 Senate Democrats to coalesce behind the nascent spending plan.

4. This is easy to solve

All Speaker Pelosi has to do is pass the bill that the Senate passed and send it to President Biden for his signature. McConnell can go pound sand. The Democrats can take the win and take the wind out of the Turtle's shell in one fell swoop.

8. It's way overdue

I feel like she's pretty blatant about her offenses and it needs to be addressed by the authorities in charge of these matters.

9. Her marriage to McConnell is about money and power

No love needed.
