Winery Partially Owned by Devin Nunes got $1 Million in PPP Loans
When COVID-19 first hit America, congress passed a bill to help small businesses hit hard by the pandemic. Many companies were helped by the Paycheck Protection Program Loans which were part of the bills. Some found it hard and cumbersome to apply. Others still, returned money received by the government after being publicly shamed.
For months, all of the loan recipients weren’t known by the general public. That changed today when the government revealed all those who received money. Among the companies was Phase 2 Cellars, a winery partially owned by Devin Nunes.
Phase 2 was award a PPP loan of between $1 and $2 million. Nunes November opponent, Phil Arballo tweeted, “Americans are trying to figure out how to pay their rent & put food on the table, meanwhile Devin Nunes’ winery is getting bailed out. I’m running against Devin Nunes because it’s time working people got a fair shake.”
People connected to other prominent Republicans also took in loans. The family of Elaine Chao, Mitch McConnell’s wife own a company called The Foremost Group. The Foremost Group was given $350,000 in loans.
