First up, @hinsonashley.
Earlier this week, Ashley proudly took a bow and announced $829 million heading to #IA01 for critical locks & dams work.
Only problem? She voted NO on the legislation that made this possible.

Next: Maryland’s only Republican Andy Harris.
Andy announced $50k in federal funding for dredging work in his district that he had absolutely no part in securing.
Third: Rep. @MichelleSteelCA!
Steel said the $8.3M heading toward Newport Harbor was “excellent news.”
Excellent? Michelle, you voted against it!!

Fourth: Rep. @PeteStauber.
At the time of the Infrastructure Deal vote, Pete said he would not be “complicit in paving a destructive and irreversible path towards socialism.”
But when his district got some $$$? He was “happy to announce” it. 𝗬𝗶𝗸𝗲𝘀.

Fifth: Rep. @Palmer4Alabama.
Gary called Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal funds for #AL06 the “opportunity we have been working for as a region and a state.”
That “we” is doing an awful lot of work considering Gary didn’t vote for the legislation.

Sixth: Minority Whip @SteveScaliseGOP!
Steve said he was committed to ensuring “South Louisiana has the resources necessary to restore and improve protection for our citizens and communities.”
You sure, Steve? Cause you voted NO on #BIF.

Up Next: Kay Granger.
Kay’s district has $403 million en route for flood control efforts thanks to #BIF.
She actually called the funding “a great day for Fort Worth.” A great day she played no part in making happen. #TX12

Honestly, folks. We have more examples but you get the point → Republicans are shameless and it’s embarrassing to watch.
