Al Franken Rips Democrats Over ‘Build Back Better’

Former Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) slammed Democrats on his podcast for failing to pass the Build Back Better Act.

Said Franken: “My feeling is that this wasn’t about Build Back Better is just the worst name for a bill ever. It was that we didn’t put what was in this bill before the people. And all they kept hearing was from the press. It was at 3 trillion is at 1.5 trillion? It was inside baseball. It was, it was a horse race.”

He added: “The fail here was that we, the American people never knew what was in the bill. And this is why I argued for putting these, these bills on the floor individually.”
