Even though he has vowed to obstruct President Joe Biden at every turn, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is praising the president for the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill that passed Congress last week, with McConnell calling it a “godsend.”
According to The Hill, McConnell made his remarks in his home state:
(McConnell noted) the Bluegrass State has “a lot” of infrastructure needs after touring a facility for indoor farming company AppHarvest, according to CBS News affiliate WKYT.
He pointed to Kentucky’s infrastructure report card from the American Society of Civil Engineers, which gives it a C-minus.
“I’m surprised we even got a C,” McConnell told WKYT. “We have a lot of infrastructure needs, both in rural areas and with big bridges. It’s a godsend for Kentucky.”
That didn’t sit well with failed, one-term, twice-impeached former President Donald Trump, who attacked McConnell and other Republicans who voted in favor of the infrastructure package, suggesting they had succeeded in “granting a two month stay which allowed the Democrats time to work things out at our Country’s, and the Republican Party’s, expense!”
The real reason for Trump’s anger, however, it due to the fact that during his four years in office, the only significant legislation he managed to get through Congress was a massive tax cut for the richest Americans. His administration repeatedly hinted there would be infrastructure legislation during his presidency, but never put forth any proposals, as the ex-president was far too busy trying to extort our allies in Ukraine and kiss the ass of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Trump is well aware that he will go down in history as the worst president this country has ever elected. That’s why he keeps teasing a run in 2024. But the chances of him actually running are minimal. He’s far too busy trying to stay out of prison and bilk his moronic supporters out of money he can use to defend himself and keep his failing business afloat.
