Matt Gaetz And I Are ‘Taking Cost’ in GOP ‘Civil Warfare’ Towards Trump-Hating Republicans

President Joe Biden targeted Republican lawmakers Thursday who voted against his COVID relief package, the American Rescue Plan, before presenting its benefits to constituents in their districts.

“My Republican friends in Congress, not one of them, voted for the bailout,” Biden said during an economic policy speech in Ohio. “I’m not going to embarrass any of them, but I have a list for her of how they brag about the rescue plan in their districts. They praised the restaurant revitalization fund. They extolled grants to community health centers. I mean some people are not ashamed. “

According to Huffington Post reporter Kevin Robbillard, Biden’s list includes, among others, Kevin McCarthy, Chair of the Minority of the House, and Elise Stefani, Chair of the GOP Conference, as well as representatives Roger Wicker, Beth Van Duyne, Greg Pence, Jaime Herrera Beutler, Troy Balderson and Tony Gonzales on the list. Madison Cawthorn, Alex Mooney, Lee Zeldin and Andrew Garbarino.

The Associated Press identified some of the culprits earlier this month and reported that “Republicans from New York to Washington state promoted elements of the legislation they sought to defeat.”

. @ POTUS notes that its bailout plan has not received GOP votes, but many members have touted the relief from the bill in their districts. Biden says he will not “embarrass” her by name, but will pull out a list of members, including @RepStefanik, @GOPLeader, and @RepCawthorn
