Republicans upset COVID relief plan would help struggling libraries
By Josh Israel -February 25, 2021 2:57 PM
'If we don't get this money, we might not have a library system next year,' said a union president.
Congressional Republicans are railing against a relatively small line item in President Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion pandemic relief legislation that would help libraries, demanding the $200 million be cut from a bill that they oppose anyway.
"President @JoeBiden asked what we would have him cut from the Democrats' $1.9 TRILLION covid "relief' bill," tweeted Rep. Brian Mast of Florida on Wednesday, suggesting "The $200 MILLION for the Institute of Museum and Library Services," among other items.
"$200M for the Institute of Museum and Library Services?" tweeted New Mexico Rep. Yvette Herrell. "CUT. CUT. CUT."

That's because the GOP prefers LIE-Braries not libraries that actually educate people.
From what I hear on CNN the LIE-Braries will be in full force tonight at CPAC where they plan to double down on "Stop the Steal"!

No matter how many things were to be taken out, Repugs aren't going to vote for it, unless it gets pared down to something so bare bones as to be virtually useless.
Keep fighting, Dems! The American people need meaningful covid relief legislation, not some gutted, stripped down, feeble facsimile.
I have SO had it with Repugs. There's something very, very with a political party when its members all fight against something most Americans (including THEIR constituents) need and want.
