This is the best summary I could come up with:
South Carolina Representative Nancy Mace appeared on the rightwing channel Newsmax on Tuesday when she was asked why there are still old bridges and roads in the US after the passing of legislation to upgrade them.
āThe legislation will reauthorize surface transportation programs for five years and invest $110 billion in additional funding to repair our roads and bridges and support major, transformational projects,ā the White House said in November 2021.
Epidemiologist Eric Feigl-Ding wrote that itās āSickening that Republicans (Nancy Mace) are now blaming Joe Bidenās infrastructure bill for this bridge accident.
Democratic congressional candidate Mac Deford added that itās āshameful that @NancyMace has used the #FrancisScottKeyBridge collapse to score political points, especially when she canāt get her facts straight.
Far-right Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene was hit with a community note on the platform after she asked if the bridge collapse could have been an āintentional attackā.
In addition, Maryland Governor Wes Moore confirmed that the crew on the ship issued a mayday and communicated that they were having a power problem, leading to transportation officials stopping traffic.
