Mitch McConnell Praises Joe Biden for Successful Infrastructure Deal

Charlie Spiering 11 Aug 2021

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell praised President Joe Biden on Wednesday for working with Republicans to pass an infrastructure bill.

“I think the president deserves a lot of credit for getting the Democrats open to reaching a bipartisan agreement on this bill,” McConnell said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal.

The president reciprocated McConnell’s praise at the White House on Tuesday.

“Today, we proved that democracy can still work. A lot more work to do,” Biden said. “But I want to thank the Republican — Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell for supporting this bill.”

McConnell addressed his comments in April that he was “100 percent” focused on stopping Biden’s agenda, clarifying he was always open to doing business with the president on moderate issues.

“Infrastructure is popular with both Republicans and Democrats,” McConnell said.

He argued that a divided 50-50 senate meant Americans wanted Republicans to work together with Democrats.

“If you’re going to find an area of potential agreement, I can’t think of a better one than infrastructure, which is desperately needed,” McConnell said.

But McConnell was cool to the idea of deficit infrastructure spending when former President Donald Trump proposed it.
In 2016, McConnell specifically panned Trump’s idea of a “trillion-dollar stimulus” on infrastructure, noting that “the issue of how to pay for it needs to be dealt with responsibly.”

Biden’s bill, which McConnell voted for on Tuesday, spent $1.2 trillion.

Mitch was NEVER a friend of the GOP. His FAILED leadership is what has been a huge contributing factor to the demise of the Republican Senate.

I believe it was Phyllis Schafly who said something to the effect of giving the people a choice, not an echo chamber

The American people are getting full frontal left-wing policies and they are not happy. I don’t understand why there’s still some in the GOP who don’t wanna take advantage of that and differentiate themselves from the left

Plain and simple.  They truly aren't Republicans but RINO's who belong to the same country club as the DEMS with McConnell leading the way. 

The American people aren't happy about many things, but the only groups that are being listened to are  BLM/Antifa and the liberal mobsters.  Just wait till those coming over the border congregate, rebel and make demands.

And this is why we all hate the federal Republicans.

We gotta make a deal, GOTTA MAKE A DEAL! Gotta reach across that aisle, be bipartisan, get something done, the American people expect it from us. Gotta get along and conduct the nation's business so we look good to the voters. Don't we look good? Is our ass shiny?

Forget the details! This is a PR victory! Excuse me, don't wanna be late for the photo op, back slapping, and glad handing in our suits...

I think we need to make it clear to our elected officials, we don't want any deal.
It isn't good PR except in DC, but that dog won't hunt here at home.

When I resigned from all the Republican party positions, I told them plainly that I was sick and tired of being patronized and out right lied to by the very people I was working my @$$ off to get elected.  I don't know how to make it any clearer.
