Democrats blocked Rep. Ashley Hinson’s amendment to redirect funding away from Pelosi’s San Francisco pet project and towards funding mental health services for children whose schools remain closed.
In a must watch speech, Rep. Hinson called out Pelosi for prioritizing herself and not children and families:
Rep. Ashley Hinson: “How insulting to the frontline workers who still have not received a COVID-19 vaccine, to the mom trying to pay rent while her small business is in danger. And what about the E.R. docs and nurses treating kids rushed in for mental health crisis. This is Washington pork spending at its worst – the kind the Speaker puts in for herself. My amendment tonight would take away the Speaker’s $140 million subway carveout and instead redirect that money to a truly essential cause – supporting mental health programs for students.”

In the warped political logic of the Democrats’ hyper-partisan far-left wish list, America’s children don’t get an in-person education, but Pelosi gets her pet project.
