Joe Biden dragged Representative Lauren Boebert on Wednesday for celebrating the benefits of his clean energy initiatives after voting against them in Congress.

Biden spoke at the groundbreaking ceremony for a wind tower manufacturing facility in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He hailed advancements in clean energy and how addressing climate change was also creating new jobs. Biden also noted that a wind energy plant for CS Wind is being built in Pueblo, Colorado. Both projects received funding from the Inflation Reduction Act, which almost every single Republican in Congress voted against.

“Coincidentally, CS Wind is Congresswoman Lauren Boebert—you know, the very quiet Republican lady?—it’s in her district,” Biden said. “Who, along with every other Republican, voted against this bill. And it’s making all this possible. And she railed against its passage. But, that’s OK, she’s welcoming it now.”

This isn’t the first time Biden has called out Republicans for trying to claim wins from policies they voted against. In June, Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville celebrated a $1.4 billion investment to expand broadband access in his state, a major tenet of Biden’s Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

Her opponent next year needs to reinforce her no vote to pass legislation to help her constituents.

6. Speak softly and carry a big stick

Biden just clubbed Beobart and all republicans over the head. They all voted against the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and now they're all praising something that wouldn't have happened if not for more democrats than republicans voting for it.

Vote all these republicans out ones and for all!!!

Biden's making America great again!!!

11. I'm loving that Biden isn't taking the shit, and calling them out on their bullshit whenever he can.

Obama was too nice too often.

The right needs to keep getting called out on their bullshit - especially all those assholes who voted against the recovery act but are now claiming success for all the money coming into their districts.

16. Being "nice too often" is one of the few paths forward in the U.S.A....

... if you didn't happen to be born a straight white male.

12. Elise Stefanik

Made a big production of the construction at a border crossing in her district.

She voted against the infrastructure bill that provided the money for it.
What a hypocrite!

[Qutzupalotl]

13. How to say she's a howler monkey without saying she's a howler monkey.

We get it.

17. I gotta admit, he had me pretty confused....

...at the "lady" part. How much starch in the spine it took to use that term for her is beyond me.

Biden Audience Laughs As He Mocks Lauren Boebert, Tommy Tuberville

The president pointed out some overt hypocrisy by the two GOP lawmakers.

…

Biden referred to Tuberville ― who is currently blocking U.S. military promotions to protest abortion policy ― as the “distinguished senator from the state of Alabama, who used to be a pretty good football coach.”

Like Boebert, Tuberville was against the bill.

“Then I noticed he had a big announcement: ‘Alabama’s going to get 1 billion, 200 million dollars ...’ and I thought, 'Wait a minute! Didn’t he rail against that for a long, long time?”

Indeed he did, as Tuberville voted against the bill that included the money for the broadband expansion he touted, then celebrated it in a big announcement.
