ABC This Week: Christie Rips Biden On Infrastructure

Chris Christie

Chris Christie on Sunday accused President Biden of “lying” about his nearly $2 trillion infrastructure package — saying he’s calling a “dog a cat” because it goes far beyond rebuilding roads and bridges to include Democratic priorities like healthcare, reports The NY Post.

“You cannot call a $400 billion plan to force unionization in states, to say that taking care of increasing Medicaid payments in states, is infrastructure,” Christie said on ABC’s “This Week.”

“Now language does matter. We learned that in the last four years. How you use it and what you say, and I said last week that the president’s not telling the truth, and he’s not telling the truth about the infrastructure package,” he continued.

Christie described Biden’s infrastructure package as “the care economy. This is care infrastructure.”

“It’s baloney,” he said.
