‘Sickening that Republicans are now blaming Joe Biden’s infrastructure bill for this bridge accident. The sheer gall and naked opportunism and idiocy,’ epidemiologist says
Republicans are facing criticism for attempting to blame the Baltimore Bridge collapse on President Joe Biden’s infrastructure bill.
The Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed on Tuesday after a cargo ship crashed into it. Six construction workers are presumed dead.
South Carolina Representative Nancy Maceappeared on the rightwing channel Newsmax on Tuesday when she was asked why there are still old bridges and roads in the US after the passing of legislation to upgrade them.
Right, and that’s my point - it could be done, we just choose not to, but leave it to Republicans to blame whoever they don’t like and say whatever awful thing they can that day to outdo whoever said the most awful other thing the day before because that’s what shitty people do.
Meanwhile during 4 years of Trump, every week was Infrastructure Week, nothing got done then, none of the people saying the dumb things now have any real solutions to these absolutely real problems nor do they even care to, and so here we are.
And yes I’m preaching to the choir, screaming into the void, but it’s the hypocrisy - it’s the constant hypocrisy. It just never ends. Sorry, thanks for letting me vent lol
