'Must Be Eliminated': Trump Republicans Vow to Oust GOP Members Who Voted for Infrastructure

'Must Be Eliminated': Trump Republicans Vow to Oust GOP Members Who Voted for Infrastructure

Republicans closely aligned with former President Donald Trump have threatened to oust the GOP House members who broke with their party to help Democrats pass President Joe Biden's sweeping $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill late Friday.



House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy had discouraged defectors, urging his caucus before the vote not to assist Biden in delivering on elements of his domestic agenda.

Still, 13 House Republicans crossed party lines to vote in favor of the bipartisan infrastructure bill, which passed 228-206. With six progressives in revolt, the legislation would not have succeeded if it were not for their support.

Eight of the Republican defectors—Don Bacon of Nebraska, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Andrew Garbarino of New York, Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio, John Katko of New York, Tom Reed of New York, Christopher H. Smith of New Jersey and Fred Upton of Michigan—are part of the Problem Solvers Caucus, a group of bipartisan lawmakers who helped to negotiate the bill.

Never do anything to help the American people. Always oppose anything that makes Biden look good and successful. But always hold your hand out to receive corporate cash.

Republicans following Russian-style: agree or die politics.

If TFG and the Repukes steal the election in 2024, there will be a whole lot more Repuke "eliminations" of people who base their decisions on facts, truth, the good of America, and free will.

Gaetz and margarine can’t even successfully raise money. Boebert is most likely gone in the midterms.

But, as long as they struggle against one another and look like fools..who really cares.
