Trump is raging: 13 Republicans brought Biden the breakthrough - they are showered with hatred

With the help of several Republicans, Joe Biden was able to get one of his core projects through the US Congress.

They're paying a high price now.

Washington, DC - The nerve-wracking tug-of-war over a billion dollar infrastructure package in the US Congress recently came to an end. After months of tough negotiations, this is "a huge step forward," said US President Joe Biden. The House of Representatives had previously voted in favor of the $ 1.2 trillion project. This provides for billions to be invested in roads, bridges, tunnels, water pipes and broadband internet.

It is a hard-won success for the Biden government - which was accompanied by severe internal party trench warfare with the left wing of the party.

However, the Democrats in the House of Representatives could only get a majority for the infrastructure package on the legs with the support of several Republicans.

And these 13 are currently in the eye of a hate storm that was sparked, among other things, by ex-US President Donald Trump.

Trump rages: 13 Republicans brought Biden the breakthrough - they are showered with hatred

Adam Kinzinger, one of the few Republicans who has openly opposed Trump in the past, should "rot in hell". This is how a caller cursed him, threatening to cut his throat. Another of the 13 was asked to fall down the stairs and break his neck. And another politician had to endure insults as a “traitor”. This was reported by numerous US media.

All because they voted for the infrastructure program sorely needed in the US. It shows how deep the rifts are between the Republican Party and the Democrats. After all, the investment in the infrastructure was considered to be one of the last pillars on which one could agree across party boundaries. But even these times are over after the Trump era. Immediately after the support of the 13 Republicans became known, Donald Trump raged out - and referred to them as "RINOs" (Republicans only by name) who should "be ashamed".

1. My office, my staff, and I receive nasty calls, death threats & wishes all the time, but the difference is they are from the deranged left, not Republicans.

I get great calls from Republicans.

But all death threats should be investigated.

"I regret that this good, bipartisan bill has turned into political football in the past few weeks," said Michigan MP Fred Upton, one of 13 Republicans, to the

"Our country can no longer afford this partisan dysfunction." He and his family had received numerous death threats too. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Republican MP from Georgia, is also responsible for this.

Biden's infrastructure program through US Congress - Donald Trump insults Republican minority leaders

To make matters worse, the

reported

that the angry callers did not know that the 13 Republicans had voted for the infrastructure program - but not for the second legislative package with investments in welfare and climate protection.

The vote on it was postponed.

Among other things, it provides for an expansion of childcare, care for the elderly and statutory health insurance, tax cuts for families and $ 555 billion for climate policy.

But even so, the facts seem secondary to many - they simply want the Republicans to have voted for a Biden law in the first place.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump railed against the Republican MPs at an event, and also dealt properly against minority leader Mitch McConnell. "Why did old crow Mitch McConnell vote for a terrible Democratic socialist infrastructure plan and get others in his party to do the same," asked Trump, "if he was not able to get a great infrastructure plan that me and the Republican Party wanted to bring about? ”Trump failed to mention that he himself politically torpedoed such a project. McConnell said the infrastructure program was a "

" for his state, as the local newspaper

reported.

The current incident should bring back memories.

Even after an angry mob entered the US Congress on January 6th - and thus attacked the democratic system - those few Republicans who voted for impeachment proceedings against Trump were branded.

It becomes clear that the former US President still has a firm grip on the Republican Party.
