In the dead of night, Nancy Pelosi rammed through the largest Congressional bill in history despite objections from both Democrats and Republicans.
Make no mistake, Democrats aren’t being serious with this coronavirus relief bill because it provides for things completely unrelated to the coronavirus.
Even Democrats admit the bill “goes far beyond pandemic relief.” That’s no surprise. Pelosi made it clear that she sees coronavirus as opportunity to advance the Democrat Party’s far left agenda and she doesn’t want “too much conversation” to get in the way.
Just how out of touch is this legislation? Cannabis is mentioned more times than jobs.
Democrats included everything but the kitchen sink in the so-called coronavirus relief bill:
- The bill provides $125 million to National Science Foundation, $50 million to Legal Services Corporation, $50 million to the EPA in “environmental justice grants,” $40 million to the USGS, $10 million to National Endowment of the Arts and $10 million to National Endowment of the Humanities.
- The bill prevents deportations, funds sanctuary cities, and allows illegal immigrants to collect Economic Impact Payments.
- The bill also guts election security by preventing states from having voter ID requirements, codifies ballot harvesting, enacts national vote by mail, and federalizes election thereby taking power from states.
Bottom Line: House Democrats, including Lucy McBath, Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, Donna Shalala, Charlie Crist, Cheri Bustos, Lauren Underwood, Elissa Slotkin, Haley Stevens, Angie Craig, Chris Pappas, Josh Gottheimer, Andy Kim, Mikie Sherrill, Susie Lee, Anthony Brindisi, Antonio Delgado, Sean Patrick Maloney, Matt Cartwright, Tom O’Halleran, Ann Kirkpatrick, Josh Harder, TJ Cox, Gil Cisneros, Katie Porter, Harley Rouda, Mike Levin, Jason Crow, Sean Casten, Tom Malinowski, Steven Horsford, Max Rose, Tim Ryan, Jennifer Wexton, Colin Allred, Kim Schrier, and Ron Kind who voted for this bill will have to be accountable to their constituents for prioritizing a liberal wish list that has nothing to do with helping Americans recover from coronavirus.
