Fox News
Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., called Democrats' reconciliation bill a "great American shakedown."
"We're back to the days where you have to pass the legislation to know what's in [the bill]," Scott argued during an interview with Fox News' Neil Cavuto Thursday. "That's bad news for every single American, and it feels like the great American shakedown."
The senator added that the "lack of confidence and transparency in this process" of passing the bills should concern "every American."
"I do think there's a loss of trust between the Biden administration and the bipartisan coalition that supported the infrastructure package," Scott explained, noting that Democrats have gone back and forth about voting on the two bills together or separately.
