Republicans who voted for Biden’s infrastructure bill threatened with retaliation

Rightwingers in the party call for members who helped pass the bill to be stripped of their committee assignments

A group of congressional Republicans who helped pass the Biden administration's infrastructure bill last Friday are facing calls for political punishment by their own party, including the threat of having their committee assignments stripped for supporting the president's agenda, according to reports this week.

Several hardline Republicans, including the Colorado congresswoman Lauren Boebert and former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, have publicly urged retaliation against party colleagues who voted for the $1tn bill.
