“The fact is that your state of Wyoming is one of the states that benefits most from the increase in the child tax credit. Why oppose that?” the host asked Sen. John Barrasso
Wallace asked Barrasso to explain his opposition. “As you point out, 19 of your fellow Republican senators voted for the bipartisan infrastructure plan in the Senate. You did not. You called the reconciliation bill a ‘freight train to socialism.’ You and all of the Republicans were refusing the normal course—the bipartisan passage of raising the debt limit.
Barrasso responded that he had “concerns with some of the gimmicks that were used to fund” the bipartisan bill, adding that it cost too much and would worsen inflation. Wallace then brought up a proposal from the reconciliation bill that is similar to legislation Barrasso voted for in 2017 — the child tax credit. “The fact is that your state of Wyoming is one of the states that benefits most from the increase in the child tax credit. Why oppose that?” Wallace asked.
