Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is accusing President Joe Biden of breaking his pledge to work in a bipartisan manner and unify the country.

During an interview on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures,” Paul claimed Biden has not tried to govern in a bipartisan manner, “Well, you know, just a couple months ago, we were hearing from President Biden, the newly inaugurated President Biden, that he was going to unify the country, and then we were going to work together and have bipartisanship.”

“I’m still waiting, Mr. President. I haven’t seen any of that. I think what I have seen so far is, it’s Biden’s way or the highway,” he continued.

The Kentucky Republican blasted Biden for passing a $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package which Democrats passed without any Republican support.

Additionally, he turned his attention to Biden’s proposed $2.3 trillion infrastructure package, which Republicans argue has little to do with infrastructure.

“Apparently, reparations are infrastructure. Apparently, childcare is infrastructure, health care. They have got a climate police force they’re going to put out, youth force,” he said, adding, “But I don’t see anything that looks like they want to work together. Now, there are those of us who are saying we could be for some bipartisan infrastructure bill, if it had to do with real infrastructure, like roads and bridges and if it was paid for.”

Watch the video below:

His comments referenced an argument from Republicans who claim that Democrats are using the term infrastructure in broad terms to pass their agenda.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) called Biden’s infrastructure proposal a “trojan horse” and claimed Democrats have “thrown everything but the kitchen sink” into it.

Biden’s proposal includes funds to address the nation’s crumbling roads and bridges. But it also has money for clean water programs, expanding access to high-speed internet, accelerating a transition to green energy, and combating climate change.

To pay for his package, Biden has proposed raising the corporate tax rate from 21% to 28%, which Republicans have signaled stiff resistance to.

Last week, Republicans unveiled a $568 billion infrastructure package that they say would overhaul the nation’s roads, bridges, and airports and would not raise the corporate tax rate.

However, Democrats panned the proposal as too small and said it was lacking a plan to pay for it.

If Democrats are unable to win Republican support in the Senate, they are considering using the budget reconciliation process, which would allow them to pass the bill with just 51 votes, with Vice President Kamala Harris casting the tie-breaking vote.
