Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill Passage Delayed By Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN)
Thursday evening, a giddy possibility reared its head.
Could the bipartisan infrastructure plan actually pass … tonight? After months of fits and starts, near-deaths, resurrections born from flurries of calls and, apparently, exclusive cook-outs on Sen. Joe Manchin’s (D-WV) houseboat, pay for meltdowns and about six solid weeks of Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) telling reporters that it was just about finished — could the whole thing really be wrapped up in a few short hours?

Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN), a freshman and former ambassador to Japan during the Trump administration, lodged an objection.

These people make me want to scream and pull out my hair.
Maybe someone could gently point out to him the rank hypocrisy he just demonstrated???
