The RINO Traitors

After months of D.C. Democrats being in disarray, they finally got a win last week for President Biden’s agenda when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was, at last, able to bring Biden’s infrastructure plan to the floor for a vote and deliver it to successful passage.

But Pelosi’s win is not her own, nor solely a win that can be credited to Democrats. No, 13 Republican members of the House of Representatives crossed over and voted “yes” on the more than $1 trillion package that’s full of woke nonsense aimed at institutionalizing the left’s ludicrous dream for the future.

The Republican cooperation with Pelosi in the House last week mirrors what Republicans in the U.S. Senate did in August — they handed Biden a win when he really needed one. They rescued Pelosi from months of being bogged down with infighting between the progressive members of her caucus and more moderate Democrats after she’d lacked the support necessary to pass the bill for months.

Even worse, the GOP’s turncoats in the House gave Pelosi a win while simultaneously handing the Squad and congressional Democrats bigger wins for them to flaunt to their disparate supporters.

For the six far-left members of the Squad who voted against their party on the infrastructure bill, 13 Republican “yes” votes gave them the cover they needed. Thanks to those Republicans, Squad members were able to vote “no” in order to preserve their frequently touted ideological purity while the bill could still pass. Now, the wokest of the woke members of Congress don’t need to defend their actions to their leftist constituents. They can say they stayed true to their principles, however flawed they may be, and didn’t help pass something that wasn’t woke enough to appease their radical base.
