If you've had it with Republicans, you're certainly not alone, and more and more it's clear that the President of the United States himself is right there with you.
A new video clip is making the rounds featuring a spirited Joe Biden taking Republican members of Congress to task for constantly trying to take credit for infrastructure projects that have sprung out of Biden's infrastructure legislation that they opposed.
But he didn't just put them in their place, he also did an impression of certain Republicans who he said have "no shame," and it has many liberals cheering.
\u201cBiden does an impression of Republicans trying to take credit for legislation they didn\u2019t vote for lol\u201d— Acyn (@Acyn) 1662680159
Speaking at the Democratic National Committee's summer meeting, Biden told his supporters:
“We got a little help from Republicans. Not a lot, but enough to get it passed.”
“But the truth is, there are a lot more Republicans taking credit for that bill than actually voted for it.”
Biden then mocked these opportunistic Republicans in a voice that sounded ever so slightly like a certain Obstructionist in Chief, if you will--Republican Senator Mitch McConnell.
“'Now we’re gonna build this new bridge here. We’re all for it. And, by the way, this new road.'"
He then reverted to his regular voice to continue dragging these GOPers.
"I love ’em, man. They ain’t got no shame. They don’t have any shame.”
Biden was of course talking about the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill that passed last year, which at this point has funded more than 5,000 projects around the country with about $113 billion of the funds released so far. The administration is expected to award billions of additional dollars in grants through the end of this year.
The bill passed with the help of 13 House Republicans and 19 Republican Senators who voted in favor of it. But that is of course a tiny fraction of the total 261 Republicans in Congress.
On Twitter, people were definitely here for Biden's drag of these hypocritical right-wingers.
\u201c@Acyn Does this sound like a pretty good impression of Mitch McConnell or am I just really high tonight?\u201d— Acyn (@Acyn) 1662680159
\u201c@Acyn This one cracked me up https://t.co/6DKqA8WSHd\u201d— Acyn (@Acyn) 1662680159
\u201c@Acyn In the nascent stages of Dark Brandon, he was fond of flashing the names of the Republicans who touted his hard work after they voted against it. \n\nHere they are.\u201d— Acyn (@Acyn) 1662680159
\u201c@Acyn Specifically roasting McConnell from the sound of it ...\u201d— Acyn (@Acyn) 1662680159
\u201c@Acyn \u201cThey ain\u2019t got no shame.\u201d \ud83e\udd23 Well folks, I love me some Joe Biden; but his super power, \u201cDark Brandon\u201d, is mighty fine too.\u201d— Acyn (@Acyn) 1662680159
\u201c@Acyn Republicans have been taking credit for Democratic legislative success for quite a long time. I can remember they took credit for saving the auto industry. They have been getting away with it. It takes far too long for Democrats to call them out for their shameless behavior.\u201d— Acyn (@Acyn) 1662680159
\u201c@Acyn Looks like something changed in Biden inner circles...now he is hitting hard\u201d— Acyn (@Acyn) 1662680159

\u201c@Acyn We\u2019re done with going High when they go low. Sometimes you have to come down to their level to beat them at their own little petty games.\u201d— Acyn (@Acyn) 1662680159
\u201c@Acyn I love Dark Brandon! This is the kinda fight we are in and he has to stay bold.\u201d— Acyn (@Acyn) 1662680159
Seems like the scrappier, no-nonsense version of Biden that liberals have nicknamed "Dark Brandon"--a reference to MAGA Republicans' anti-Biden "Let's Go Brandon" slogan--isn't going anywhere any time soon.
