Dear @RepMariaSalazar: You voted against it. You voted NO on your own legislation.

But thanks for highlighting some of the great small business provisions in the #AmericanRescuePlan, which every Republican Member of Congress opposed.

Rep. María Elvira Salazar

1. Boy does 'someone' in FL need a giant billboard

Dear @RepMariaSalazar:
You voted against it.
You voted NO on your own legislation.

2. Hypocrisy is now a republican feature.

7. Hypocrisy has ALWAYS been a republican feature.

They'd be unable to function without it.

3. The guy from Mississippi did the same thing.

Voted no then wanted to take credit. Nothing but a bunch of snakes.

4. It's one of two things. Either right wingers don't yet understand how

mass communications (audio, video, the internet, etc.,etc...). Or they're giant scumbags, who don't give two fucks about us being aware of their actions and are the epitome of cynicism. I'm gonna go with the second one. Even if though you could also apply a little bit of the first one to many of them.

5. Wow. They are going full like with this ''bipartisan" bullshit

[nykym]

6. we need billboards in every

Republican congress person who touts the bill but did not vote for it.

[Duppers]

13. That'd be nice!! nt

8. Geez, she is even stupider than I thought.

9. It's called "Grammstanding"

It's called "Grammstanding" after former Senator Phil Gramm (R-TX), who would vote against funding for a big project like a bridge, and then appear at the ribbon-cutting to take credit for it.

Interestingly, Gramm entered Congress as an humble college professor, and retired as a multi-millionaire.

10. Thank you for the reminder about that particular piece of slime.

[gratuitous]

12. Gramm also started his political career as a Democrat

Switched sides in the early 1980s to knuckle the poors during the Reagan Revolution.

[Ohioboy]

11. I remember republicans taking credit locally for the ACA too

They also liked to take credit for certain parts of the stimulus bill that Obama passed, while at the same time complaining about it. Republicans depend on their base being stupid enough not to catch them at this kind of thing.

14. Evidently "nerve" is still available and not in short supply.
