Crooked Pelosi Tried Pushing This Horrible Thing Into Coronavirus Response Bill
Seriously, what is wrong with Nancy Pelosi and the House Democrats?
Our country is in a state of a national emergency and Pelosi and her little minions are playing stupid games rather than trying to actually work diligently and quickly to take action against the spread of the virus and to help those affected by it.
Pelosi tried to sneak in federal funding for abortion into the coronavirus economic stimulus plan.
Speaking to the Daily Caller, those officials alleged that while negotiating the stimulus with U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, Pelosi tried to lobby for “several” provisions that stalled bipartisan commitment to the effort. One was a mandate for up to $1 billion to reimburse laboratory claims, which White House officials say would set a precedent of health spending without protections outlined in the Hyde Amendment.
The Hyde Amendment blocks clinics that perform abortions from receiving federal funding, and Democrats have pushed the Trump administration to end it since he was elected in 2016.
“A new mandatory funding stream that does not have Hyde protections would be unprecedented,” one White House official explained. “Under the guise of protecting people, Speaker Pelosi is working to make sure taxpayer dollars are spent covering abortion — which is not only backwards, but goes against historical norms.”
You would honestly think that at a time like this Democrats could put aside their pride and prejudice and actually work in a civil manner with Republicans to come up with a solid idea on tackling this crisis.
Nope, Pelosi won’t have any of that. She essentially said earlier this week that the bill is either going to be done her way or it’s not going to be done at all.
This is not at all the way to handle this problem.
House Minority Leader Keven McCarthy tweeted,
We owe it to the American people to get this right, and I am confident that if we come together as adults, we can act responsibly in the next 48 hours.
But a “my way or the highway” approach is not the right way to handle a serious health epidemic.
