‘Complicit’: Meet the 18 Republicans Who Sold Out on Radical Democrat ‘Infrastructure’ Plan Without Reading Bill

Eighteen Senate Republicans sold out to Senate Democrats, with 17 of them voting Wednesday night to advance a $1.2 trillion Democrat “infrastructure” bill and another signaling he would.

The Senate voted to invoke cloture, or advance, H.R. 3684, the legislative vehicle for the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill. The vote featured Republican and Democrat support for the bill. The Senate voted 67-32 to invoke cloture on the bill, with seventeen Republicans in favor of invoking cloture on the bill.

All of them voted for this procedural vote without reading the bill—because it would have been impossible for them to read a bill that does not yet exist. The bill has still not been written despite months of negotiations.

The Senate Republicans who voted for the Democrat $1.2 trillion bill include:

1. Roy Blunt (R-MO)
2. Richard Burr (R-NC)
3. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV)
4. Bill Cassidy (R-LA)
5. Mike Crapo (R-ID)
6. Lindsey Graham (R-SC)
7. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
8. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)
9. Rob Portman (R-OH)
10. Jim Risch (R-ID)
11. Mitt Romney (R-UT)
12. Thom Tillis (R-NC)
13. Todd Young (R-IN)
14. Chuck Grassley (R-IA)
15. John Hoeven (R-ND)
16. Kevin Cramer (R-ND)
17. Susan Collins (R-ME)

Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD) was absent but signaled that he would have voted yes to advance the legislation.

These Senate Republicans voted to advance the bill even though lawmakers have not yet drafted a physical bill.
