Hagerty: Republicans who voted for infrastructure 'put themselves on a path to early retirement'
Fox News
Sen. Bill Hagerty, R-Tenn., on Saturday criticized Republicans who voted in favor of the bipartisan $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill, which passed in the House on Friday night along party lines.
"It was very surprising to me to see 13 Republicans basically bail Nancy Pelosi out," Haggerty said on Fox News' "CAVUTO Live" Saturday morning. "She did not have the votes within her own party to do this. We had 13 Republicans that decided to step up and help her in this way, and what they did is put themselves on a path to early retirement."
Hagerty added that he believes their votes should be "evaluated in the light of what happened in Virginia," referencing Republican Governor-elect Glen Youngkin's success over Democrat Terry McAuliffe in the state that has voted blue for the past decade.
