Joe Biden surprised everybody on his trip to Ohio today by holding up a list of Congressional Republicans who have boasted to their constituents about the good things the American Rescue Plan is doing for them. You know, that legislation that only Democrats voted for.
"My Republican friends in Congress, not a single one of them voted for the rescue plan," Biden said with a good-natured edge. "I’m not going to embarrass anyone, but I have here a list. Back in their districts, they’re bragging about the rescue plan. They touted the restaurant revitalization fund...They touted grants to community healthcare centers. Some people have no shame."
Biden smiled his best Joe-from-Scranton smile as he stuck the shivs in. And immediately people on social media began playing the game he intended. Who's on the list? Oh, look! — there's Elise Stefanik! There's Madison Cawthorn! And gosh, there's Kevin McCarthy!
The Presidential taunting was particularly great given its timing: Congressional Republicans are in the middle of trashing the infrastructure negotiations and are about to reject the independent January 6 commission. Biden was warning them today that he's going to hang all of it around their necks in 2022.
It was something a more restrained Barack Obama would never do. But we cats love the fact that Joe is showing receipts, and we PURR.
