Rep. Tenney: ‘Unfortunate’ That Republicans Voted for Infrastructure Bill.

It’s “unfortunate” that 13 House Republicans sided with Democrats to vote for the bipartisan infrastructure bill when it’s “more about implementing the Green New Deal and setting the stage for the reconciliation bill,” Rep. Claudia Tenney told Newsmax Monday. 

“There’s nothing like the Republicans to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory after the stunning and great wins in Virginia,” the New York Republican said on Newsmax’s “National Report.” “A lot of Democrats lost because of the policies on the national stage.”

The infrastructure bill, Tenney added, “takes all the power and money that could go to state and local governments and to our communities and gives it to bureaucrats in Washington, where they get to make the decisions.”

But once the power switches to people like Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg or the EPA, “we’re not going to be able to change that,” she said.
