South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said on Sunday that the House should re-vote on President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better spending bill, claiming Democrats must “quit lying” about the bill.
Graham shared the comments during an interview on “Fox News Sunday” with Chris Wallace.
“The House should revote. The vote in the House was based on a fraud,” Graham argued.
“There is not a plan to pay for it,” Graham later added. “If there is, I missed it. So give it to me.”
The senator also expressed concern about adding more burdens to working families.
“The last thing I’m going to do is add more burdens to working families in South Carolina. And here’s my message to the Democratic Party: Quit lying about this bill. They should revote it in the House,” Graham said.
“We need to stop Build Back Better before it destroys this country,” he added.
Graham also emphasized the Build Back Better bill is filled with gimmicks.
“@LindseyGrahamSC says Senator Joe Manchin came to him and told him the Build Back Better bill is “Full of gimmicks.” a Twitter post from “Fox News Sunday” said.

Graham also referred to a Congressional Budget Report (CBO) last week that estimated the Build Back Better Act would increase the federal deficit by as much as $3 trillion over the next decade if its provisions were made permanent.
