Rep. Lauren Boebert tried to take credit for a local infrastructure prohject she voted against and was lie-checked by Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg. . “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.”
Twitter, now known as X, even posted a community note to the Boebert tweet, explaining that she was lying about her role. Biden’s law is distributing upward of $42 billion across America to expand internet access and help bring rural and isolated communities into the increasingly digital world. The White House on Monday released estimates of what that means for each state—and Republicans who voted against the bill were quick to claim the victory.
