White House and Buttigieg Criticize Boebert for Claiming Credit on Infrastructure Funding

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert faces backlash for touting federal project funds from a bill she opposed.

Boebert highlighted $51.4 million in funding for a bridge project in her district via social media.
The funding originated from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which Boebert voted against in 2021.
Pete Buttigieg and the White House criticized Boebert, questioning her support for the project.
Boebert defended her actions, citing previous communications and criticizing the bill's broader goals.
This incident is part of a broader pattern of politicians claiming credit for funding they opposed.
