President Joe Biden on Thursday scolded Republican lawmakers who are touting popular measures of his American Rescue Plan to their constituents after they voted against the bill. I mean, some people have no shame, Biden said with a laugh during a speech on the state of the economy in Cleveland, Ohio.
The president s $1.9 trillion COVID-19 stimulus package passed the House and Senate in March without any GOP support. However, some Republicans have since praised provisions included in the legislation.
"Some people have no shame, but I’m happy they know that it benefitted their constituents," Biden snickered while holding up the list of names during an event in Ohio.
Biden blasts Republicans for touting Covid relief funds they voted against: ‘Some people have no shame’
President Joe Biden on Thursday criticized Republican lawmakers who have touted parts of the Covid-19 economic relief law that benefit their constituents despite having voted against the law, saying: “Some people have no shame.”
No Republican in Congress voted for the American Rescue Plan when it passed earlier this year, but Biden noted several are now touting portions of the $1.9 trillion package that have gone toward their home districts.
“I’m not going to embarrass any one of them, but I have here a list of how back in their districts they’re bragging about the rescue plan,” Biden said during a speech in Cleveland, holding up a piece of paper with names of lawmakers and the parts of the law they have promoted.
