GOP Lawmaker Attacks Pelosi for Pushing $2,000 Stimulus Checks Demanded by Trump

Representative John Rose, a Tennessee Republican, attacked Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi for attempting to pass legislation that would give Americans $2,000 stimulus checks—a key demand raised by President Donald Trump last week.

Congress passed a bipartisan $900 billion COVID-19 relief bill last week, which was included with $1.4 trillion omnibus government spending legislation. Although the White House reportedly urged Republican lawmakers to support the package before it passed, Trump attacked the bill and described it as a "disgrace" in a Tuesday video message.

The president took issue with billions of funding to foreign countries and other government priorities, while also asking Congress to raise the $600 stimulus checks included in the package to $2,000 for most Americans. Democrats quickly backed the president's call for larger direct payments, pointing out that this was what they'd asked for months ago already.

Pelosi, a California Democrat, plans to hold a roll-call vote on Monday morning on a stand-alone bill that would dole out $2,000 stimulus checks, but some Republicans have attacked her for attempting to do what Trump requested.

I guess we should not be surprised by Republicans blaming a woman for the problems created by a man. It is not Trump's fault for refusing to sign the bipartisan bill. It is Pelosi's fault for saying, sure I will agreeing with Trump's stated excuse for signing the bill. I am sure on Fox and Newsmax, no one will mention that Trump is the one who screwed everything up.

3. So, let's get this straight. Republicans have thrown over 2 trillion dollars at

businesses. Hell, they gave Mnuchin $500 billion as a slush fund for corporations.

But they cannot help poor or hungry or homeless Americans?

[Grokenstein]

5. To them, that's un-American.

And to them the poor and hungry are un-people.

Cause that’s THEIR slush fund!

Not even when people are in desperate situations not of their own making.

This pandemic has really shown us who they are. I had no idea they were this monstrous.

13. Well, if we get used to getting our tax money that we pay in to our government,

that is supposed to be of, by and for the people of this republic, for stuff that actually benefits us, then the Republicans wouldn't have any money to give billionaires and corporations, would they? Not to mention the Military- and Prison-Industrial Complexes.

It makes me SICK.

4. Holy crap these people suck.

6. Watching the next tweet about that Rose, John...

Bets are open on which one of these cowards will get the shaft from their Dear Hair Twitler first.

7. Incoming Democratic administration...

It's time for the GOP to be concerned about the deficit again, after not giving a shit when those Trump tax cuts were rammed through.

L.A. Times Editorial: Trump’s tax cuts are exploding the deficit.

It happens every time. Like fucking clockwork...

8. Nancy eats attacks for breakfast! Let's promote the stand-alone roll-call vote!

Spite politics is going in the dustbin of history.
We've got more important things to do than give Republican attackers our attention.
Furthermore, we'd do well to attack media who give so much attention to Republican attackers.

Because if she didn’t, Trump might primary her.
