House Minority Leader McCarthy on Coronavirus Relief Bill: ‘What the Democrats Did is a Total Disgrace’

36

Repuublican and Democratic senators unanimously voted to pass a coronavirus relief bill late Wednesday that gives $350,000,000 to assist refugees and migrants.

Earlier this week, it was revealed that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s relief package would include $300,000,000 for refugee assistance.

McCARTHY on RELIEF BILL: ‘What the Democrats Did is a Total Disgrace’

By: Hannity Staff , March 26, 2020:

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy called-out his Democratic colleagues Thursday on their efforts to promote far-left policies in the Coronavirus relief bill; saying their behavior has been a “total disgrace.”

“This is not another day in Congress. This is a time when we have to come together to deliver real results. What Democrats did was a total disgrace. History will not be kind to the days that added millions to the unemployed simply because they wanted to change the election laws and promote the Green New Deal,” said McCarthy.

Controversial Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ripped the Senate’s Coronavirus stimulus package Wednesday afternoon; describing the proposal as a “historic corporate giveaway” at the expense of American workers.

“Just a reminder that there is absolutely no good reason why Senate Republicans are tying a historic corporate giveaway to getting relief money in the hands of families. They could just authorize sending checks to families today, right now, & deal with the rest. But they refuse,” posted Ocasio-Cortez on social media.

Members of the ‘Squad’ demanded a series of far-left proposals be included in the Congressional relief package to help Coronavirus victims this week; asking for the cancellation of student debt, banning of evictions, and prohibition of “executive bonuses” in the plan.

“Any rescue package must:
1) Cancel student debt
2) Fund losses for small businesses and local governments
3) Ban evictions and foreclosures
4) Ban stock buybacks and executive bonuses
We need a groundswell of support for these critical measures!” posted Omar on social media.

“The developments of this Senate relief bill are concerning. We are hearing lots of vague statements, but not a single member of Congress has seen actual bill text. It seems to give a *HALF TRILLION DOLLARS* away to big corporations, w/ few worker protections. Half a trillion,” added Rep. Ocasio-Cortez.

The White House and leaders in the US Senate agreed to a $2 trillion stimulus package to help businesses impacted by the Coronavirus Wednesday; unveiling a sweeping bipartisan plan to shore-up the economy and protect American workers.

“The White House and Senate leaders of both parties announced agreement early Wednesday on an unprecedented $2 trillion emergency bill to rush sweeping aid to businesses, workers and a health care system slammed by the coronavirus pandemic,” reports the Associated Press.

“To the American people, we say, big help, quick help is on the way,” said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.

The proposal now heads to the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives.

“House Democrats will now review the final provisions and legislative text of the agreement to determine a course of action,” said Speaker Pelosi.

“After days of intense discussions, the Senate has reached a bipartisan agreement on a historic relief package for this pandemic,” said Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. “It will rush new resources onto the front lines of our nation’s health care fight. And it will inject trillions of dollars of cash into the economy as fast as possible to help Americans workers, families, small businesses and industries make it through this disruption and emerge on the other side ready to soar.”

As a happy compromise the SENATE also went out of their way to exclude Trump properties and businesses from any kind of relief in their bill. What’s Trump’s response? Since day one, he has always donated his Presidential salary to an organization that needs it. Yet TRUMP is the monster!

PRESIDENT TRUMP DONATES HIS 4TH QUARTER SALARY
TO FIGHT THE CORONA VIRUS

Will Maule : Mar 24, 2020 Christian Headlines

Trump, who gave away his third-quarter remuneration to the fight against the ongoing opioid crisis, has been making good on his campaign promise to give away all his presidential paychecks to good causes.

A sizable percentage of sitting Senators and House members are very wealthy. Has even one member of the US Congress offered to give up as little as one month of salary for the cause?

Hillary & Bill, America’s favorite political parasites, are sitting on at least 250 MILLION. Have they lifted a finger to help the people of Westchester County which has the highest infection rate outside of NYC. I don’t think so!

There’s a few $Billion in leftist crap unrelated to Covid-19 that the Democrats stuffed into the bill before they would agree to pass it.

To truly comprehend how despicable and soulless Pelosi, Schumer & Co are, chew on the following simple calculation:

Hospital-grade ventilator: $25,000 per unit
$1 Billion would buy 40,000 ventilators!!!!

There’s way more than 1 $Billion in waste in the bill the Senate passed. Cam someone please explain to me why these vile sc*mbags are still walking the earth?

… Yes.
So, the repubs voted to help Americans weather the storm and the dems put the pork in, in the first place….

You have a problem figuring out which is more in citizens’ best interests?
I can explain it to you but I can’t understand it for you.

Both are at fault. The President should not sign the bill but announce that people are to return to work. Even Dr. Fauci says this is no worse that a flu epidemic.

…..don’t understand that. I’m guessing the Dimms threatened to hold it up until they got their way. The Republicans knew they would, but knew the nation needed it now.
I’m hoping that prior to the next election the Republicans come out with a list of all the Dimms who threatened not to vote for the stimulus if they didn’t get their pork…. Time will tell.

The dems put the pork in. The repubs vote for it. And then the repubs condemn the dems for putting it in. And you don’t understand my point?

So then do nothing? When November comes around the demonrats and their MSM propaganda will then blame the president and republicans for everything wrong under the sun.
They’re going to do that regardless but the point is to try to keep everything together because whatever does fail becomes demonrat ammunition.
Do you understand this line of thinking?
I personally think the republicans should have held their ground and did everything to publicize the demonrat intransigence with Trump’s help, but I do understand their thinking.
You don’t get that? You still equate both sides? Do you work for the DNC?

No….I mean I don’t understand why the Republicans are doing that. They should go out before the cameras, hold up a list of what the Dimms are doing that have nothing to do with Virus recovery…..then ask their voters to go on their site and ask them if they want them to vote for this travesty. The voter has to provide their voting district information to insure the Left doesn’t have their Libtards from other states flooding their site.

I’m guessing so they could rush aid to the Americans who need it.
What you need to focus on is how the Dimms held everything up until and unless they got their pork for them and their pals.

Would you rather be sitting her a month later with no help for the needy (American people)…or would you rather go ahead and get aid to the American people….and then hang the Dimms with what they did at election time? I chose option number two.

Folks, come November, I want all voters…..no matter the party…to remember that the Dimms cut themselves in for $350 million dollars for their favorite, elite pass times……on the backs of the relief to struggling Americans.
IMAGINE WHAT THE $350 million could do for real working Americans and their families…..
…..then picture NANCY and the DIMMS attending the opera that got $50 million our of our aid money. Laughing and preening with each other while our nation suffers.

Then explain to me and others why you would ever vote Democrat again the rest of your life.

The total disgrace McCarthy references is the GOP acceptance of a single dollar of pork. No agreement until purified. You can not cave and whine later Stand your ground or shut up.

Let me remind everyone the Commiecrats can stuff all sorts of pork into this and other bills but Trump does not have to spend the money. He can just let it sit while the bureaucrats work out the “proper regulations.” When he returns triumphantly in 2021 with a House and Senate majority all of these funds can be used for other purposes. If not, then the “people have spoken” and they will be wasted along with trillions more. We are all toast anyway if Trump and the Republicans are defeated by these vermin.
