Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) slammed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) for telling reporters they need to do a better job of selling President Joe Bidenâs spending plan.
During an appearance on Fox News Tuesday night, Boebert said she is waiting for Pelosi to âstart recruiting timeshare salesmen to start passing her legislation.â
She continued, âCan you believe the audacity she has telling the American people you may not even know whatâs in it, but you like it?â
Boebert argued the real reason why the media is not talking about Bidenâs agenda is âbecause heâs not talking about it,â adding, âYou know how many public appearances Sleepy Joe has had today to discuss the plan? Zero. He had zero appearances today and zero yesterday and zero the day before that.â
Going over Bidenâs schedule for the day, Boebert explained, âAt 8:45 a.m., he had a virtual conference and then a briefing at 10:15 a.m., and then he called it a lid. What about the spending spree?â
She went on to ask, âDoes Fancy Nancy want the media to sell taxpayer dollars paying for the college education of millionaire families to Ivy League colleges?â
The Republican continued, â$200 million dollars to Nancy Pelosiâs favorite park, the Presidio, amnesty to millions of illegal aliens. A more intrusive IRS scanning through your financial transactions. This bill is crap.â
Watch Boebertâs comments below:
Boebert discussed former President Donald Trumpâs âmassive tax cutsâ and claimed he âwas basically living on the Hillâ when he passed them.
She added, âAnd Biden is proving that what weâve all seen, he isnât capable of leading. Sen. Sinema wonât even return his calls. Thatâs right. Heâs being ghosted by a senator.â
Concluding her remarks, Boebert told host Jesse Watters, âIf these bills pass, itâs because weak Republicans caved to the Democrats.â
During Pelosiâs press briefing on Tuesday, a reporter noted a CBS News poll that found a majority of Americans do not know the specifics of the spending bill, as IJR reported.
When asked if she needs to do a better job at messaging, Pelosi replied, âWell, I think you all could do a better job of selling it, to be very frank with you because every time I come here, I go through the list, Family Medical Leave, the issues that are in there.â
The House speaker also suggested, âWhether they know it or not, they overwhelmingly support it.â
Forbes reported earlier this month some House committees have approved portions of what is allowed in the final draft of the Build Back Better plan, including extending the child tax credit expansion, paid family and medical leave, lowering child care costs, lowering higher education costs, and closing the Medicaid coverage gap.
