we talk a lot about how we are at unprecedented political times on this show. but some aspects of our current politics are as reliable and as shameless as ever. here, for example, is a statement from republican iowa congresswoman ashley hin stn. quote, this landmark investment will be game changing for iowans and communities along the mississippi river. she s talking about a $829 million federal investment from president biden s bipartisan infrastructure package that passed late last year, an investment that benefits her district. she goes on that s why i helped lead a bipartisan group of my colleagues in urging the administration to prioritize funding for these essential up grades. there is one problem with this statement. republican congresswoman ashley hinten you will be shocked to hear voted against the bipartisan infrastructure package. in fact, she was loudly, proudly against it. this is another one of her press releases a few days after that bill passed in november.
