Biden redefines bipartisan to NOT mean Republicans in Congress

Biden is trying his damnedest to make excuses for breaking his promises when it comes to getting bipartisan support for his legislative agenda, and here’s the latest:

DAILY MAIL – White House officials, as they push President Joe Biden’s agenda through Congress, are giving new meaning to the phrase ‘bipartisan support,’ arguing it doesn’t mean winning Republican votes on Capitol Hill.

‘If you looked up ‘bipartisan’ in the dictionary, I think it would say support from Republicans and Democrats,’ Anita Dunn, a senior Biden adviser, told The Washington Post. ‘It doesn’t say the Republicans have to be in Congress.’

And Rahm Emanuel, the former Chicago mayor who served as Barack Obama’s chief of staff, argued Biden redefined bipartisanship.

‘What’s become crystal clear is that Biden has redefined bipartisan,’ he said.

‘It isn’t how many Republicans I’ve got,’ he added. ‘It’s about how many Republican voters or mayors and governors can I get to support my stuff. And Washington is slow to catch up to the Biden definition.’

As administration officials work to move the $2.9 trillion infrastructure bill through Congress – and look ahead to gun legislation, the budget, and healthcare reform – officials are looking outside of Washington D.C. for GOP approval.

The White House has trotted out Republican voters, Republican mayors and Republican governors to express support for their agenda.

And they argue that is enough.

‘I would like Republican — elected Republican — support,’ Biden said at his first presidential news conference in March. ‘But what I have now is, I have electoral support from Republican voters. Republican voters agree with what I’m doing.’

This is a joke in more ways than just the obvious. Biden is not only hard spinning the word ‘bipartisan’ to mean the more general electorate rather than Republicans in Congress, but he’s also lying about getting Republican support.

He had made the claim earlier this year that he had a majority of Republicans supporting the non-COVID bill that Democrats rammed through the reconciliation process. But it turned out that wasn’t true.

Even if it had been true for that bill, which ended up being a big payday for most Americans, it’s most certainly not true for his fake ‘care infrastructure’ bill which has little to do with actual infrastructure at all, just like the COVID bill had little to do with COVID.

I’ll leave you with this:
