WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Rather than a good faith effort to help Americans, Democrats in the U.S. Senate blocked a $2 trillion bipartisan emergency response bill in order to advance their partisan interests by including many provisions entirely unrelated to the Coronavirus.
Nancy Pelosi’s response bill directs funds to unrelated items such as abortion, LGBT, carbon emissions for airlines, and the Kennedy Center. It launches special-interest programs for unions and climate activists, institutes a $15/hour minimum wage and even meddles with the national elections system.
