Lindsey Graham accuses Biden of making the GOP 'look like a f---ing idiot' after tying a bipartisan

infrastructure deal to a larger spending package

Sen. Lindsey Graham on Thursday blasted President Joe Biden for linking a bipartisan infrastructure deal to a larger spending package that covers the rest of his priorities.

"If he's gonna tie them together, he can forget it!" the South Carolina Republican told Politico.

"I'm not doing that. That's extortion!" Graham continued. "I'm not going to do that. The Dems are being told you can't get your bipartisan work product passed unless you sign on to what the left wants, and I'm not playing that game."

Earlier Thursday, Biden emerged from an Oval Office meeting with a bipartisan group of 10 senators to announce that they'd struck an agreement on a $1 trillion infrastructure package. The framework said the deal would provide funding for physical infrastructure such as roads and bridges, broadband access, and public transit. But it didn't include a massive chunk of Biden's original infrastructure plan including investments in policy areas like childcare and eldercare, education, and climate.

Glad to see Biden giving the GOP a taste of their own medicine. I'm pretty sure Leningrad Lindsey is not going to sign onto anything Biden might agree to, so he should just sit down and STFU.

It's for the good of the country and its people, Lindsey.

We already knew how you would vote for that.

You may need to look inward a little bit.
