Sen. Kelly Loeffler suddenly changes her mind on relief checks for Americans



By Oliver Willis -December 29, 2020 10:30 AM

Loeffler shifted her position just hours after House Democrats passed increased stimulus funds, as Trump had demanded.

Just a few days after expressing opposition to increased direct relief for Americans during the COVID-19 pandemic, Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) has suddenly changed her position — to match that of Donald Trump.

"I will support" benefit checks of $2,000, Loeffler told Fox News' "Fox & Friends" on Tuesday.

Loeffler's announcement comes just hours after the Democratic-led House passed a measure for increased stimulus on Monday night.

Less than a week ago, Loeffler said she opposed efforts to increase relief checks beyond the $600 that had passed in the House and the Senate initially, in the most recent COVID relief bill, despite public support from Donald Trump.

This sudden support by her and other Republicans is a farce. They know it won’t get past McConnell so it’s easy to appear to be going along with Trump. It’s a win win for them. They can publicly appear to support Trump all the while knowing Mitch will make sure it won’t go anywhere.

I’m convinced this is completely orchestrated.
