@dickjones8119 Republicans would disagree with you:
"While Congressman Wittman voted against the infrastructure bill, he's ecstatic that the Port of Virginia received the funding that he worked so hard over the years to secure," a spokesperson told ABC News.
Shortly after voting against the measure last fall, Rep. Gary Palmer, R-Ala., celebrated its hundreds of millions in funding for a stalled highway project in Birmingham.
Last week, Rep. Kay Granger, R-Texas, touted new funding for a flood control project from the package, which she opposed last year, decrying it at the time as a "so-called infrastructure bill."
Rep. Ashley Hinson, R-Iowa, a freshman lawmaker who also voted against the infrastructure bill, celebrating new "game-changing" funding to upgrade locks along the Upper Mississippi River.
In November, Rep. Rob Wittman, R-Va., was one of 205 House Republicans to vote against the bipartisan, $1.5 trillion infrastructure bill, calling it irresponsible and the "Green New Deal in disguise." On Friday, he took to Twitter to tout funding from the bill he voted against -- highlighting a $70 million expansion of the Port of Virginia in Norfolk -- one of the busiest and deepest ports in the United States.
In 2021, Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville voted against President Joe Biden’s infrastructure bill, which he said would fail to give his state a “fair slice of the pie while also saddling Alabama taxpayers with even more debt.” But the Republican sounded a different note this week, when he touted the “crucial funds to boost ongoing broadband efforts” his state would receive — without noting that those funds were part of the 2021 infrastructure legislation he had vocally opposed.
Marsha Blackburn celebrated the “progress” on broadband in Tennessee; John Cornyn did the same in Texas; Nancy Mace held a press conference Wednesday to promote a $26 million grant for a transit project — “one of the largest” such grants, she said — that was made possible through the Democratic-led legislation, which she condemned in 2021 as a “monstrosity.” Blackburn, Mace and Cornyn all voted against the infrastructure package.

"Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you're a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible."
