Tommy Tuberville Celebrates Broadband Funding He Voted Against

Tuberville Statement on Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill

These 30 Republicans Voted Against Infrastructure Bill; Here's What It Would Give Their States

[treestar]

1. Also false that they pay more taxes to give stuff to cities

or blue states.

[PatSeg]

2. Exactly

Those blue states and "liberal" cities are supporting a lot of these red states. Guess that must be because they are a bunch of "commie socialists" helping out their fellow 'mericans and such. The ignorance is breathtaking.

[William Seger]

22. Alabama gets $1.80 in federal funds for ever $1.00 of taxes paid

Tuberville should be careful what he wishes for if he wants a "fair share of the pie." Some blue states might think that's a great idea.

3. I'm surprised TWOberville even knows what broadband is

[Geechie]

4. In other news...

7. Seems like

republicans do this quite often. Vote against a bill, then when it passes they go home and celebrate that it passed, and say look at all the money I am bringing to the state from a certain bill passing- that they didn’t vote for. Hypocrites!

[Geechie]

24. When Bobby Jindal was Governor of Louisiana

He would be on TV holding big fake checks of the federal funds headed to Louisiana because of the work of President Obama and Democrats. And which he opposed. Both sentences can be attributed to jindals conservative “values.” Obviously integrity is of no value to conservatives.

[FakeNoose]

35. And the media never pushes back - never checks the facts - never calls them liars

[Rebl2]

[czarjak]

27. Reconstruction might require it.

[Scalded Nun]

12. Just like every GOP piece of shit in Congress.

Vote against every damn bill that helps this country's citizens while boasting about 'Owning the Libs' and then take credit when it becomes a reality. They are garbage.

[BumRushDaShow]

Biden ribs GOP Sen. Tommy Tuberville for touting broadband funds he voted against

June 28, 2023, 1:24 PM EDT
By Dareh Gregorian

President Joe Biden trolled Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., on Wednesday for touting the arrival of federal funds to his state from a bill he voted against. "See you at the groundbreaking," Biden tweeted at Tuberville after the senator praised the news that Alabama was set to receive $1.4 billion to improve broadband access in the state.

The funds are from the $555 billion infrastructure bill Biden campaigned for and signed into law in November of 2021. Tuberville was one of 30 Republican senators to vote against the legislation, but he praised the arrival of the funds on social media this week.

"Broadband is vital for the success of our rural communities and for our entire economy. Great to see Alabama receive crucial funds to boost ongoing broadband efforts," Tuberville tweeted on Tuesday.

The tweet was quickly tagged with a "context" note from Twitter users. "Important context to know here: while Sen Tuberville is celebrating this grant now, he voted against it when it came up in the Senate, and never expressed support for it, until now," the note said.

14. The weird thing is that repubs don't even care that their reps lied to them.

It's like a woman whose husband keeps on cheating on her but takes him back time after time. They don't know how to quit him.

Are you saying that hypocrisy is a badge of honor for the Democrats? Seriously??
