Trump Blasted for Blaming 'Heartless' Democrats in Stimulus Stalemate
President Donald Trump stirred social media on Thursday after he blamed Democrats for the lack of [...]
No, Democrats want to give those people who need the money the money they need. Republicans want to instead give them a fraction of what they need so that they can give corporations more.
Meanwhile you got destroyed in the ABC town hall last night!

TRY AGAIN.

Republicans are heartless pouring trillions of dollars into huge corporations while giving Average Joe a $1,200 stimulus check that isn’t even enough to pay for one month’s rent in many parts of the country.

prevnextThe House passed a $3 trillion stimulus in May that included more direct payments. Republicans rejected it. https://t.co/HO8p6Axegi

This is a lie. We are the ones who have been trying to give stimulus payments to people since this whole thing started. You had Moscow Mitch stall our bill for months and months. And in that bill is funding for police. So why do you want to defund the police?

The Democrats passed this in May, they've compromised also. The GOP refused it and came up with a bare bones offer that they said "was better than nothing."
If they pass this horrible GOP plan, that's it. Finished.
Look how long it took them to get to this point.. pic.twitter.com/6tg1YQ1py3

prevnextThis is another ridiculous lie. The House passed the Heroes act months ago which would have saved countless jobs and lives if you and your Republican friends in the Senate supported it.

Liar. The House passed the Heroes Act that would address that in May.
The Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has never taken it up.

prevnextThis is literally the opposite of what is happening.
House bill, passed *four months ago* over GOP objections: $600/week through Jan 2021, $1,200 stimulus check
Senate Republicans bill, failed last week: $300/week through Dec 2020, no stimulus check https://t.co/ZmYWUodo5w

They passed heroes act 124 days ago that would have sent payments.....only heartless here is you and Mitch

prevMaybe the republicans should take the 400m out for the remodel of the white house, and money for coal mines. These are the things that are holding up passing a relief bill. The house sent a bill in May. Vote on that bill. It's not Democrates holding up relief. Vote blue
