Lindsey Graham Tells Americans No More Virus Relief
Sen. Lindsey Graham responded to the proposal for a massive virus relief package from House Democrats by calling the bill dead on arrival.
ADVERTISING
Graham (R-SC) tweeted:
Speaker Pelosi made it clear that Graham and Senate Republicans are saying no to American heroes:
Well, let me just talk about our enthusiastic approach to opening up our economy, and that is testing, tracing, treating, and isolation if necessary. That is what is essential. Its scientific, and its fair. Thats number one in our bill, is how do we open up the economy? How do we get rid of this virus, this villain? And that is testing, tracing, treatment and isolation.
Second to that is honoring our heroes. Thats why its called The Heroes Act. In no particular order, the provisions call for honoring our heroes: our first responders, our health care workers, for sure, our teachers, our sanitation workers, food service, transit, you name itthose who are on the frontline. And we help them by sending the money to state and local governments because thats where they get paid, and it is, in large measure. And we have important assistance for hospitals as well................................................
