(Photo by Joshua Roberts\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 10:06 AM PT \u2013 Tuesday, November 9, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>As infrastructure passes and the partisan Build Back Better spending bill continues to linger, Republicans are sending mixed messages about where they stand.<\/p>\n<p>Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has remained a staunch supporter of the bipartisan infrastructure bill since the measure was first proposed. On Monday, the Kentucky Republican said he was delighted the measure finally passed the House after lingering on Speaker Nancy Pelosi\u2019s (D-Calif.) desk for months.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI supported that measure,\u201d he said. \u201cIt passed the Senate, went over to the House with 69 votes and sat there for months and months and months. So, I was delighted that the House finally found a way to pass the infrastructure bill last week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although, not all Republicans were as happy the bill passed as McConnell was. Without the 13 Republican votes in favor, the bill would have actually failed in the House.<\/p>\n<p>Colorado\u2019s Lauren Boebert (R) said she believes if the bill hadn\u2019t passed, Pelosi would have been humiliated and it would have given conservatives a uniting win. Instead, the bill passed because of the GOP\u2019s efforts to reach across the aisle, and Boebert believes that only staunch conservatives should be a part of the House majority after 2022.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">RINOS just passed this wasteful $1.2 trillion dollar \u201cinfrastructure\u201d bill. <\/p>\n<p>Pelosi did not have the votes in her party to pass this garbage. <\/p>\n<p>Time to name names and hold these fake republicans accountable.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Lauren Boebert (@laurenboebert) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/laurenboebert\/status\/1456833964098965504?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 6, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Despite the open wounds on infrastructure, the party is nearly wholly united in opposition to the Democrats\u2019 partisan Build Back Better package. House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) believes the party is on the side of the vast majority of Americans.<\/p>\n<p>He noted how nobody supports trillions more in spending. Instead, the recent elections show that voters are tired of politicians catering to the far-left of the Democrat Party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTuesday\u2019s results show an important truth,\u201d said McCarthy. \u201cVoters from Virginia, to Texas, to Seattle, to Minneapolis, to New Jersey, sent a mandate to their elected officials. Stop catering to the progressive left and work on solutions that will improve the lives of your constituents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Senate Minority Leader McConnell agreed, saying that Build Back Better is actually just more reckless spending without any significant benefits for the average American.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe other bill they\u2019re trying to pass could best be described as the reckless tax and spending bill, a massive addition of another $2 trillion the country is not asking for and doesn\u2019t want, and we had a referendum on what they\u2019re doing last Tuesday in Virginia and New Hampshire and New Jersey. I don\u2019t think the American people are interested in seeing this go any further,\u201d said the Republican.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/okla-gov-calls-out-school-district-over-firing-of-6-teachers\/\">Okla.
