House Dems Begin To Take Credit For Provisions In Trump-Backed Law They Voted Against
Dems Try To 'Take A Victory Lap' For Trump-Backed Law They Hysterically Opposed
Democratic lawmakers decried it as the
Democratic lawmakers decried it as the “Big, Ugly Bill,” but some members of the minority party are beginning to praise — and even take credit — for various provisions within President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
Communities across the country stand to gain billions of dollars in federal funding from the president’s sweeping tax relief and immigration law that Trump signed on July 4. Several congressional Democrats are beginning to claim responsibility for provisions they deem beneficial to their constituents despite fiercely opposing the bill during its passage.
Though House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries has argued that passage of Trump’s budget bill will cost Republicans control of the lower chamber during the midterms, some members of his conference are quietly signaling that some provisions within the bill are popular with voters.
“House Democrats voted against the largest tax cuts in generations, historic border security, and safer communities — then tried to take a victory lap because they’ve got nothing else to run on,” National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) spokesman Mike Marinella said in a statement. “That’s like lighting a house on fire and taking credit when the fire department shows up.”

Democratic Missouri Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, another Kansas City area congressman, has also claimed responsibility for delivering the federal dollars within Trump’s sweeping bill.
“After joining with representatives from across the country to push for federal investments that will ensure a safe and orderly event, I’m very happy that we were able to secure $625 million to support security efforts in the 11 host cities, including Kansas City,” Cleaver said in a joint statement with Davids on July 11.
Just eight days prior, the Missouri Democrat argued the legislation incorporating the World Cup funding was “morally reprehensible and supremely sinful,” in a statement opposing the bill’s passage. Cleaver cited the budget package’s reforms to entitlement programs and extending tax breaks to Americans of all income levels, including the highest-earning individuals.

Democratic Missouri Rep. Wesley Bell has also cheered a provision within Trump’s signature bill despite arguing the budget package will be “cruel” and “devastating” for his constituents during debate over the bill’s passage.
The St. Louis area Democrat has praised the reauthorization and largest expansion to-date of the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) within Republicans’ budget package. The provision was a long-sought priority of Republican Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley who cited the RECA expansion as one of his reasons for backing Trump’s signature bill. The legislation would allow Americans living in certain zip codes, including those in Bell’s St. Louis, Missouri district to be eligible for compensation if exposed to nuclear waste.
Commentary:
NOT one Democrat voted for the Big Beautiful Bill or as they called it “The Big Bad Bill” so they went from “We are all gonna die if this bill passes” to “Eh its not so bad we all approve of it”.
Did anyone think Democrats wouldn't lie about that. Nope they haven't changed they continue to lie. Do Democrats think because they said they actually supported this bill the American people believe that? Not in a million years. What's one more lie after the whoppers they told about Biden mental state and tax cuts.
So I'm guessing no one has died from this bill passing, as foretold by Hakeem and these very Democrats???
