Republicans Face Backlash for Politicizing Baltimore Bridge Collapse Despite No Evidence of Intent or Infrastructure Bill Ties
-
Republicans like Rep. Nancy Mace are facing criticism for blaming the Baltimore bridge collapse on Biden's infrastructure bill, despite the collapse being caused by a ship accident.
-
Mace inaccurately described the infrastructure bill, falsely claiming only $40 billion went to roads and bridges when over $100 billion was allocated.
-
Critics slammed Mace's comments as opportunistic, shameful, and lacking facts, with one calling it "as unpatriotic as it gets."
-
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene questioned if the collapse was an "intentional attack," but the FBI found no ties to terrorism.
-
The ship crew issued a mayday call about power failure problems before the crash, with the governor praising them as heroes who saved lives.
