Vulnerable Democrats Object to Pelosi Holding Infrastructure Hostage

Vulnerable Democrats revolted against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's holding a bipartisan infrastructure deal hostage to pass their more leftist infrastructure package.

President Joe Biden softened his language about a threat to veto a bipartisan infrastructure proposal if Congress did not pass their far-left, reconciliation infrastructure bill.

Pelosi has not reversed her threat to tank the proposal.

Rep. Dean Phillips said, "Would I like to see a lot of elements of the social infrastructure plan implemented? Absolutely. But I think this is important that we demonstrate that this place can operate. And if we end up getting nothing done because of the objections of either the left or the right, and then shame on all of us."

Breitbart News reported many Senate Republicans have warned Biden and Pelosi's hardline tactics could very well "Blow up" the infrastructure deal and prevented either bill from passing.

In a statement Monday, the National Republican Congressional Committee said Democrats should not yield to Pelosi's holding the infrastructure bill hostage.

Mike Berg, an NRCC spokesman, said, "Every single Democrat should denounce Speaker Pelosi for taking the infrastructure bill hostage to try and raise taxes to pay for her socialist agenda."
