Why did Emmer vote NO on the infrastructure Bill? Let us count the ridiculous ways [View all]

First, it was used to haggle about the second, social safety bill

Second, broadband contains the word "equity" meaning, of course, only the metro area will benefit not rural Minnesota

Third, the broadband will be managed by a "government bureaucracy" instead of a private sector.

And so it goes. No one ever blamed Republicans for being logical and consistent but oh, how much hypocrisy is there.
