Fox News Host Claims Biden's Stimulus Plan Includes 'PPP Loans for Sex Offenders'

Fox News host Jesse Watters has said that the $1.9 trillion stimulus package proposed by President Joe Biden includes Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans "for sex offenders."

Speaking on a Monday Fox News broadcast, alongside a panel that included former Trump Administration White House Press Secretary Dana Perino, Watters said:

"They have PPP loans for country clubs in here. Like, the squash courts and the putting greens are in such disrepair they needed an immediate injection of money? They have PPP loans in here for fraternities and sororities, Dana. Like, do you really think they're struggling right now? They have PPP loans in here for sex offenders. So you rape a child. 'Here! Here's a loan! Take it,'" he said.

"They honestly have $100 million to build an underground train from San Francisco to Facebook's headquarters. Isn't everybody working remotely? Where are we taking a train to? Chuck Schumer has 1.5 for a train to nowhere; no offense, Canada. I mean they have stimulus checks for illegals, health care for illegals, taxpayer-funded, for abortion, Planned Parenthood—it's all in there," Watters continued. "Money for schools that won't open and money for teachers unions that refuse to teach. 350 billion to bail out states that shut down unscientifically and now we make them whole. Payoffs for pharmaceutical companies, insurance companies—it's all in there."

Considering all the sexual harassment suits Fux Noise has faced one would think they'd be fine with the claim.

I’m startin’ to think some of these “people” are really robots.

No human can lie so much. Lies upon lies upon lies.

And of course they're lying. Might consider adding that to the OP.

It's unclear what Watters meant when he referred to PPP loans for sex offenders. The full text of the bill contains no reference to sex offenders. It only mentions sexual assault and rape in reference to funding programs that help survivors of both.
