Fox News’ Laura Ingraham dressed down GOP senators whom she believes have effectively turned a blind eye to the workings of the Chinese Communist Party and the interests of the American people by expressing their support for a rollback of tariffs imposed on Chinese imports by former President Trump.
In all, 19 Republican senators have apparently swallowed the Biden regime’s blue pill with assurances from “experts” that lifting tariffs on China will ease the current record-high inflation affecting the daily lives of every American citizen. They signed onto a Senate bill last summer called the United States Innovation and Competition Act of 2021. The usual suspects; Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell and Mitt Romney are signatories, of course.
During Wednesday’s “The Ingraham Angle,” the host cited a Politico report that read, “Republicans, despite tough talk on China, are lining up behind the Senate package crafted by Finance Committee leaders Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Sen. Mike Crapo (R-ID) that would award tariff exemptions to more than 2,200 imports that got them under Trump, along with the directive to reopen the exemption process.”
Ingraham argued that in the aftermath of the alleged Wuhan lab leak of the novel coronavirus and Americans learning exactly how much of the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) believed to mitigate against the COVID-19 virus is imported from the communist nation, Americans were hoping to wrangle in that dependence on foreign goods and bring production back to America. But two years later, she said, politicians are counting on the perceived short memories of their constituents to go along with their maneuverings.
“Lifting tariffs on $300 billion worth of imports every year will provide even more incentive for U.S. manufacturers to send their production lines to the communist superstate,” Ingraham said. “They’ll both have cheaper labor costs and they won’t have to pay import duties.”
“For decades, Congress cut tariffs without much thought. But we cannot continue to do that when it comes to products made in China,” Republican Florida Sen. Marco Rubio told the Daily Caller last week. “We should do everything possible to move supply chains out of China, but this so-called ‘China bill’ is actually subsidizing manufacturing in Communist China. It’s ridiculous.”
The Republican senators who complete the list of 19 are Roy Blunt (MO); Shelley Moore Capito (WV); John Cornyn (TX); Steve Daines (MT); Chuck Grassley (IA); Lisa Murkowski (AK); Rob Portman (OH); Jim Risch (ID); Mike Rounds (SD); Ben Sasse (NE); Dan Sullivan (AK); Thom Tillis (NC); Roger Wicker (MS); Todd Young (IN).
“The regime that lied about COVID, tortures religious minorities, starves its own people, and uses slave labor is now gonna be rewarded by the United States, the very country it is working to undermine and eclipse every minute of every day,” Ingraham concluded. “I hope these Republican senators willing to sell out the American people to China will see the folly of their ways. But I’m not gonna hold my breath.”
A Morning Consult poll released last week indicates that “73 percent of American voters support the U.S. government’s use of trade remedies against China, including 71 percent of Democrats, 70 percent of Independents and 76 percent of Republicans.”
Moreover, a Pew Research poll found in 2021 that nine out of 10 Americans believe China to be an enemy nation and fear China as a malevolent global force more so than Russia.
The accompanying House bill concerning China – the COMPETES Act – passed by only a twelve vote margin. Every Republican member voted against it except for – that’s right – Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL).

Of course lindsey is knew deep in this! The best thing for the USA would be to NOT IMPORT a SINGLE item from China!
This is not a surprise as they want to maintain the status quo and make money.
This is just one more thing that the tyrannical criminal cabal in Washington, D.C. has blatantly done to better serve themselves and not the governed.
For the SWAMP SCUM on this list of 19, there must be some compensation, some padding for their wallets. Standard procedure in the Deep State Toxic Septic Sewer Waste System we call DC.
Thank God for people like Tucker and Ingraham! They DO call out ‘our’ Scumbags.
You Kool-Aid drinkers can have your Shamitty and Pirro! They promote ‘our’ Scum.
Sen. Crapo, eh.
Everyone should know who these scumbags are . Vote them all out of office ! Thanks you Laura !
Just vote the SOB’s out of office when the time comes. I am becoming an Independent because of the GOP’s “inaction/inability” to do what their constituents want.
Instead of Laura calling these 19 traitors out, the GOP party needs to call them out. That’s what’s wrong with the republican party, to ignore truth is form of lie.
Mitch McConnell is another GOP senator I. Bed with the Chicoms.
Mr. Turtle Man.
Trade remedies are fine and dandy, but how do we, the American people, jnow that they are being enforced.
Quick answer: We don’t.
The ChiComs have boasted that their money has bought American politicians and public officials. Of both parties. They are right. Every one of these 19 is guilty of treason.
These are not only RINOS, they are traitors.
RINO’s have to GO!!! Everyone of these meatheads do not have the American citizen in mind when they vote. They are being bought off by the Marxists lobbyists’!!!
RRIMARY them out.
When are American’s going to realize that the two greatest threats to America are democRATS and the traitorous RINO’s in the republican party? If we don’t vote these pieces of sh*t out in the next election then we deserve exactly what we get.
Lying, self interest, self serving, greasy, j`elly spine, backstabbing, Trump hating, conspiring, GOP RINO SWAMP RAT eunuchs; Alexander, Barraso, Blunt, Braun, Burr, Cassidy, Capito, Collins, Cornyn, Cramer, Ernst, Graham, Inhofe, Johnson, Lee, McConnell, Murkowski, Portman, Romney, Rubio, Sasse, Scalise, Shelby, Thune, Tillis, Twomey, Young,
I was wondering who the last one was. No surprise that it’s Collins. She might as well be a Demoncrat since she votes with them 90% of the time.
For the record, the list in this article only has 18 names. Crapo (fitting, isn’t it?) who wrote it, Romney, Graham and McConnell named in the text and the list of 14 further down. That’s 18, not 19. The author should proofread their text before publishing it.
May be it just me but until I read this article I have never heard of this United States Innovation and Competition Act of 2021 ever mentioned and now that it has been voted on and passed “We the People” are forced to live with it and the extreme problems it will cause for us. I agree that now that Laura Ingraham has brought it to our attention we should do everything in our power to get these so called Representative out of office. My closing thought is it is amazing that with all the forms of media we have in society today that we are not made aware of these proposed bills until after they have been passed. SAD.
Semper Fi 1969-1989
Come on mods…you always manage to kick off or censor the conservatives. You telling me you can’t get rid of this garbage?!?
There’s the list…..they’ve got to go….#DRAINTHESWAMP
It seems like on a daily basis, we are reminded of the brilliance of Trump. Please, please, bring him back.
If any of the Senators were mine, I would vote them OUT of office. Fortunately, my State still have a predominance of Americans.
Too many are in bed with China to fatten their own wallets. If 76% of Americans don’t want this, why on earth are their representatives doing the opposite?
Because they have fogotten? the American government is run BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE. These elected reps that do what THEY want should be voted out of office. They’re all too lazy to go back to their constituents and ask what THEY think!
Benjamin’s, baby! LOTS OF FOREIGN BENJAMINS!!!
