‘NO SHAME’: GOP Senator Roasted For Praising COVID Relief Plan … He Voted Against | Talking Points Memo

Hours after the House delivered President Biden’s first legislative victory by passing a $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package on Wednesday, Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS) suddenly acted as though he did not vote against the plan last weekend alongside his fellow Republican senators — and was swiftly dragged by Twitter users for it.

No? But Wicker sure will try to take credit for it once it passes. That is the perfect definition of a corrupt, two-timing, lying Republican ass-wipe!

Meh, what do we expect of the party of MoscowMitch who can vote to acquit Trump then turn around literally 10 minutes later to give an impassioned speech about how guilty Trump was.

“…just because it has a couple of good provisions…”

Well, then there’s the unemployment help.

“OK, a few good provisions. Three. Three good provisions. That’s it.”

… Oh, and 1400 bucks.

They’re Republicans. It’s what they do.

OT, but as long as we’re talking about kkklowndicks…this fecal-gnome twit is claiming we’ve reached the “racism accusation saturation point” which, yeah, he even acronyms as “R.A.S.P.” like it’s a thing…

Sigh…

Playing both sides, as it were. Constituency might be fooled into thinking that the party that always votes against their best interests was actually on the right side of history on this one.
