ICYMI: Top Dem Says Coronavirus Bill An 'Opportunity to Restructure ... to Fit Our Vision'
Democrats never let a good tragedy go to waste. As Americans suffer financially due to the coronavirus pandemic, with many people losing their jobs and having a hard time paying rent, the left continues to play games.
Check out Rep. Clyburn’s thoughts on the stimulus bill that Dems continue to hold up.
From National Review:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) worked to scupper the phase-three coronavirus relief package on Sunday after Majority Whip James Clyburn (D., S.C.) told caucus members last week that the bill was “a tremendous opportunity to restructure things to fit our vision.”
Clyburn’s comments came on a Thursday call featuring more than 200 House Democrats, during which caucus members laid out a list of provisions they wanted to be included in the Senate’s trillion-dollar package.

A climate change study on aviation to combat #COVIDー19? Is this a joke, @SpeakerPelosi?
How does that help average Americans right now?
Outrageous. https://t.co/9iaauA2jUa

Families and businesses need help now to survive the China virus pandemic. But @SpeakerPelosi walked away from negotiations to write her own bill, full of absurd provisions completely unrelated to the crisis at hand. Here’s what Speaker Pelosi is demanding while Americans suffer:

The Democrats see an opportunity in this crisis.
Not to help the American people, but to hold an emergency relief bill hostage until they get their radical wish list.
How long will Arkansans and Americans across the country have to wait?
