Buttigieg Blasts Beetleboob For Lying About Bridge

Newsweek reports:

House Republican Lauren Boebert was criticized by the White House and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on Wednesday after posting about having “secured over $51.4 million for the South Bridge,” despite the funding coming from legislation she voted against in 2021.

Boebert shared a photograph on X of herself with a Glenwood Springs City Councilor, adding: “Great meeting with Glenwood Springs City Councilor and former Mayor Jonathan Godes. We have secured over $51.4 million for the South Bridge. Was thrilled to hear about nearly $30 million in costs savings in addition and that my support has helped make this project a reality.”

The official White House press office shared Boebert’s post adding: “One thing about Congressional Republicans…they’re going to take credit for investments they voted against.”
