It is clearly evident that the Republican Congresspersons and Senators have one sinister purpose. Their aim is to sabotage every meaningful bill that Biden proposes. Look at the record. Look at the infrastructure bill. Look at the Build Back Better bill. Virtually every single Republican has opposed or can be counted to oppose.
