Rep. Scott Perry Flamed For Publicly Trashing A Bill He Voted For
Pennsylvania congressman Scott Perry is the latest Republican member of Congress who is trashing a bill they previously voted for. In the process, he seemed to be more interested in staying inElon Musk's good graces than pleasingPresident Donald Trump. It all started Tuesday morning when Perry shared a post by Musk that referred to Trump's so-called Big Beautiful Billas 'a massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill' and 'a disgusting abomination.' Musk has suddenly shown aggressive opposition toward the bill and is asking people tocall their senators to prevent its passage. He's also suggesting to 'fire all politicians' who voted for the bill and 'betrayed the American people.' For some reason, Perry agreed with Musk's post ― even though he is one of the people who voted for the BBB: I wish I had a nickel for every time the @freedomcaucus sounded the alarm and nobody listened, only to find out the hard way we were right all along. We expect MASSIVE improvements from the Senate before it gets back to the House. If Perry was fawning over Musk in order to possibly keep from being primaried, he didn't get any help from other social media users who pointed out the hypocrisy of trashing a bill you voted for. A community note added to his tweet made sure to remind people: 'Rep. Scott Perry voted Yes for the bill.' Others joined in as well and ― spoiler alert ― it got brutal. HuffPost reached out to Perry's office for clarity on why he is attacking a bill he voted for, but no one immediately responded. Flip-flopping and hypocrisy seem to be in Perry's wheelhouse, however. Back in April 2024, Perry claimed he didn't support a nationwide abortion ban despite repeatedly supporting legislation that would make that happen. And last October, during a tight reelection race, Perry suddenly stopped advocating for Project 2025 and claimed he was unaware of the plan. Perry is not the only Republican representative who has come under fire for things they did or said after the bill was passed. Late last month, Nebraska congressman Mike Flood admitted at a town hall he was unaware of some of the things in the bill that passed, but said he didn't support it. On Tuesday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene went scorched-earth on the bill in an X post where she admitted not reading the bill before her vote. Marjorie Taylor Greene Freaks Out After She Finally Reads Bill She Voted For Elon Musk Goes To War Against Big Beautiful Bill: 'KILL the BILL" Democrat Asks Trump If Elon Musk Was On Drugs In The White House Elon Musk Takes A Chainsaw To The GOP's False Deficit Claims

VOTED FOR MASSIVE DIPSHIT — Fred Wellman (@FPWellman) June 4, 2025 I'm done with all of you. You literally voted for this bill. You've lost are the problem you are trying to solve for. Look in the mirror. — Matt Van Swol (@matt_vanswol) June 4, 2025 I wish I had a dime for every time you guys took a month vacation and cried on social media, but didn't do anything. — Catturd ™ (@catturd2) June 4, 2025 Explain This! 👇 — Lucas Sanders 💙🗳️🌊💪🌈🚺🟧 (@LucasSa56947288) June 3, 2025 Hypocrisy right here 😂😂😂 — Fish (@FishxCD) June 4, 2025 It says a lot about your character that you are criticizing others when you voted for the bill yourself. That's the problem with republican reps, they lie to their constituents and think they can get away with it. Those days are over. BTW - I'm a republican. — Jane (@DebrasLilSis) June 4, 2025 You voted for the fucking bill you idiot!!!!
