Steil defended his vote on the bill, which is also estimated to balloon the national debt by trillions of dollars.

One attendee said, 'Southeast <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Wisconsin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wisconsin</span></a> has not been represented by you. President Trump seems to run Southeast Wisconsin through you.' </p><p>"Another made similar remarks in the context of immigration.
