Graham: Biden Made GOP Look Like “Fucking Idiots”

Politico reports:

Some confusion over the bipartisan infrastructure negotiations led an outburst from Sen. Lindsey Graham directed at his fellow Senate Republicans involved in the talks. Democrats have linked passage of a bipartisan bill with a separate budget resolution that would pass through the reconciliation process, which would require only Democratic votes to pass. Biden said on Thursday that he won’t sign a bipartisan bill unless Democrats also pass a reconciliation bill.

Graham appeared to be unaware this was the Democrats’ plan as they were negotiating with Senate Republicans, including Bill Cassidy, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Rob Portman, Mitt Romney. “I’m not doing that,” Graham told Politico before boarding a plane Thursday night. “That’s extortion! I’m not going to do that. Most Republicans could not have known that,” he said about the Democrats’ two-track plan. “There’s no way. You look like a fucking idiot now.”
