Sen. Kennedy: Bipartisan $1T infrastructure bill full of ‘stupid stuff’

Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) blasted the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill as chock-full of “stupid stuff” Monday night, hours ahead of a final Senate vote on passage.

Kennedy told Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle” that he was likely to vote “yes” on the package until he received a copy of the 2,700-page measure. “I realized pretty quickly that if you look up ‘stupid stuff’ in the dictionary, there’s a picture of this bill,” said Kennedy. “They told us it was a real infrastructure bill. It’s not; only 23 percent of the bill is real infrastructure, the rest is Green New Deal and welfare. They told us the bill was paid for; it isn’t, we’re gonna have to borrow maybe up to $400 billion to pay for it. They told us there were no tax increases. There are; my state’s gonna have to pay $1.3 billion in new taxes on our petrochemical industry.
