Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-Pa.) took a swing at fellow Pennsylvanian Sen. John Fetterman (D) over comments he made as the Senate was on its way to passing President Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” in which he said he had “missed” a beach trip.

“I will do whatever it takes, stay up for 48 straight hours, 72 straight hours, do whatever it takes to block this bill from becoming law,” Boyle told The Bulwark’s Sam Stein in an interview that came out Tuesday.

“And that should be the attitude, frankly, of every Democratic member of the House and Senate. If you are here, you’re damn lucky, and you’re privileged to be here. You should want to be here. If you don’t want to be here, leave,” he added.

Fetterman made it quite clear Monday morning that he was not feeling excited about going through a marathon series of votes on the “big, beautiful bill,” saying that it was costing him beach time, as the bill was likely to pass anyway.

“Oh my God, I just want to go home. I’ve already … I’ve missed our entire trip to the beach,” Fetterman said to reporters.

Senate Republicans passed Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” early Tuesday afternoon, making it a step closer to crossing the president’s desk. The bill now makes its way to the House, where questions arise about whether the lower chamber can meet a self-imposed Republican July 4 deadline for passing it.

“Almost all of our Great Republicans in the United States Senate have passed our ‘ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL.’ It is no longer a ‘House Bill’ or a ‘Senate Bill’. It is everyone’s Bill,” Trump said in a Truth Social post Tuesday.

The Hill has reached out to Fetterman’s office for comment.
