President Joe Biden entered the White House on a message of bipartisanship, but now heās redefining the word to leave Republicans in Congress on the sidelines.
When Bidenās $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill passed through Congress without a single Republican vote in either the House or the Senate, the White House nevertheless heralded it as a ābipartisanā victory. The administration justified the statement at the time by pointing to polls showing overwhelming support for COVID-19 relief among the public. Biden is now preparing to do much the same with his multi-trillion-dollar infrastructure plan, which many Republicans argue has little to do with infrastructure.
āIf you looked up ābipartisanā in the dictionary, I think it would say support from Republicans and Democrats,ā Senior Biden Adviser Anita Dunn told the Washington Post on Monday. āIt doesnāt say the Republicans have to be in Congress.ā
Bidenās faction has begun to argue that Republican votersā sentiment in polls outweighs their decision to elect their current representatives in Congress.
Republican Utah Sen. Mitt Romney, a moderate, criticized Bidenās new push to redefine the word earlier in April.
āA Senate evenly split between both parties and a bare Democratic House majority are hardly a mandate to āgo it alone,'ā Romney wrote. āThe President should live up to the bipartisanship he preached in his inaugural address.ā
Bidenās infrastructure bill is a prime example of Bidenās willingness to redefine words to pass his legislation. Republicans have pointed out that the vast majority of the bill does not go toward roads or bridges, but instead to climate change efforts, welfare programs and even critical race theory initiatives. But polls show wide support for an infrastructure bill, and Biden uses his dubious definition of āinfrastructureā to support his dubious definition of ābipartisanship,ā arguing for passing the bill without any Republican votes.
As a result, Republicans in Congress are lambasted for abusing their minority power when they oppose their opponents.
It'd be funny it if wasn't so ridiculous. Who do they think they are fooling? Mainstream America? I don't think so.
