Climate, LGBTQ, equity … this woke Omnibus Bill is a DISASTER. Nobody is shocked when Democrats (and sorry, some Republicans) are more than willing to spend a bunch of money we simply don’t have, but Republicans supporting anything with earmarks like the ones Rep. Chip Roy pulled out that definitely fall into the WOKE category is just a disaster.
Note, this thread is VERRRRRRRY long, but worth your time since we should all know what some of our pals in the Republican Party are willing to sign off on. Grab a snack, get comfy and take a look at this hottest of all messes.
The $1.7 trillion omnibus would funnel BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars to woke pet projects from members like AOC & Hakeem Jeffries.
Then why are some Senate Republicans planning to vote for it?
Here are 55 terrible earmarks that NO REPUBLICAN should vote for🐖🧵:
