Lindsey Graham Bails on Biden's Infrastructure Bill, Calls it GOP 'Suicide Mission'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has said he will not support President Joe Biden's infrastructure bill despite a bipartisan agreement that was announced at the White House on Thursday.

Politico's "Playbook" newsletter reported on Friday morning that Graham was not backing the deal because the small infrastructure bill is set to be linked to a larger reconciliation bill.

"If he's gonna tie them together, he can forget it!" Graham. "I'm not doing that. That's extortion! I'm not going to do that. The Dems are being told you can't get your bipartisan work product passed unless you sign on to what the left wants, and I'm not playing that game."

Graham was one of 11 Republicans to sign up to a bipartisan infrastructure framework, which appeared to show a bill could get enough support to overcome the filibuster.

Lyndsey the GOP has been on a suicide mission ever since it hitched itself to the Trump train.

1. Bad roads and shitty bridges. Check.

Added to all of the half-million reasons why I'm never visiting South Carolina again...

2. Was Lindsey ever on board with Biden's Infrastructure Bill?

10. Of course not. That said, I hope they kill the Bipartisan deal, forcing the Reconciliation Bill to

contain everything. My only hope is that Democrats make sure every American knows that Republicans were completely against it, and that only Democrats can get things done.

3. Unfortunately this was the inevitable response after so much was made of the linkage yesterday

I think Joe would have been better off letting Pelosi and Shumer handle the process. Less said is sometimes better.

4. He's always been Trump's bitch.

Such a punk

5. I'm sure the Biden WH is prepared for it, but dollars to donuts, other gqp will do the same

And they will not have 10 to pass it. This was hinted at early on by Thune...sad

6. This asshole doesn't understand that the GOP has been on a "suicide mission" for years.

In fact, they're already on life support. You fuckers killed your party when sold your souls to Big Money. It just hasn't died yet. The only reason it hasn't died is because you've managed to cheat enough to stay in existence.

7. Suicide mission implies honorable self-sacrifice for the benefit of others.

Nope. Not THIS GQP.

[gratuitous]

8. It's suicide for Republicans if people think government can do things

Their brand for the last 40 years has been to deny that the government has any role to play in society beyond taking money from poor people and turning that money over to the wealthy. Government spending for the good of everyone instead of just the fat cats is anathema to Republicans.

9. Why does Lying Lindsey still have an ounce of credibility with the press?

MSM should shun him. When it comes to a community of truth, Graham's the ultimate pariah.
