Sen. Capito slams Democrats’ human infrastructure bill, warns of ‘troubled waters ahead’

Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, R- W. Va., warns of "troubled waters ahead" for the Democrats’ human infrastructure spending proposals during "Mornings with Maria" Tuesday, arguing that her colleagues "seem more enamored with getting the numbers up."
