Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell<\/a> touted tens of millions in funding he secured for his home state of Kentucky by voting for President Biden’s infrastructure package on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

McConnell put out a press release highlighting an award of $21.4 million in funding for Louisville, Ky. from Biden’s Department of Transportation (DOT). The funding will go toward upgrading the city’s roads, and it represents just a fraction of the billions in funding the state will receive over the course of five years.<\/p>\n

“Kentucky has seen a rise in roadway fatalities over the past couple of years, creating a worrying trend. I\u2019m proud to announce that today\u2019s grant will help our largest city and my hometown deploy commonsense, low-impact safety improvements to reverse that trajectory,” McConnell said in a Wednesday statement.<\/p>\n

“The bipartisan infrastructure law I supported promises to help cities around the country reduce traffic deaths and I\u2019m glad it\u2019s already deploying resources to Louisville to help our community,” he added.<\/p>\n

BILLIONS FUNNELED TO GREEN AGENDA ONE YEAR AFTER BIDEN SIGNED INFRASTRUCTURE LAW<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Biden and McConnell visited Kentucky in-person earlier in January to celebrate the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). Meanwhile, many conservatives have criticized McConnell for frequently siding with Biden’s agenda.<\/p>\n

“There\u2019s nothing to celebrate about a woke, bloated infrastructure law full of waste, labor union handouts, and green giveaways,” Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley<\/a> said of the Kentucky visit. “Republicans shouldn\u2019t play center stage in Biden’s publicity stunt.”<\/p>\n

TOP REPUBLICAN BLASTS SPENDING BILL\u2019S FOCUS ON FOREIGN BORDERS INSTEAD OF AMERICAN<\/u><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Conservatives on social media also blasted McConnell<\/a> for voting in favor of December’s $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill, along with 17 other Senate Republicans.<\/p>\n

The Senate approved the 4,000-page bill that funds the government for the rest of the fiscal year in a 68-29 vote. The omnibus included $858 billion for defense, $787 billion for non-defense domestic programs and more than 7,200 earmarks costing over $15 billion.<\/p>\n

ACT for America founder Brigitte Gabriel wrote, “Who is worse? The Democrats who are actively destroying the country or the Republicans who are sitting on their hands watching it burn?”<\/p>\n

“Yuck,” American Commitment president Phil Kerpen exclaimed.<\/p>\n

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., wrote, “I\u2019m disappointed in some of my fellow Republicans, who voted against respecting the taxpayers and for empowering themselves to spend your money with reckless abandon.”<\/p>\n
