Ingraham: 'Country is going nowhere good' if Dems' infrastructure package passes

Fox News host Laura Ingraham ripped the Senate's bipartisan infrastructure spending package on Monday's "The Ingraham Angle," claiming that the country is “going nowhere good” if it ends up passing.

"Tonight, I'm going to tell you what counts as infrastructure," Ingraham stated. "The Republicans agreed to this without even ever having read a draft of the bill. It was put together mostly by the majority party's committee staff. Now, in June, a bipartisan group of senators led by Mitt Romney thought it was a good idea to engage with President Biden on this thing called an infrastructure bill that would cost hundreds of billions of dollars. Now, the deal included Biden's pledge … that it would be a stand-alone. In other words, it wouldn't be linked with this 3.5 Trillion or 4 trillion spend-o-rama that the Democrats were cooking up to pass through this thing called reconciliation, which means they only need a simple majority." Ingraham further claimed that the Romney group, "by agreeing to this order of things," forfeited "all" of the GOP's "leverage" and argued that the GOP awarded Biden with bragging rights despite the president having the lowest approval rate of his tenure. "[Pelosi] plays hardball while Republicans are waiting for a Wiffle ball game to start," Ingraham argued. "She's not taken up infrastructure until they get their gargantuan spending package through a simple majority vote. Simply put, by agreeing to this order of things, the Romney group gave up all of their leverage as Democrats are able to bypass them entirely on their way to a simple majority vote on a 3.5 trillion dollar package that no one's seen."
