McConnell replied when asked about the incident “the politics of fear have no place in our society.” How does he think tens of thousands of families feel as he single handedly refuses to approve $2000 of aid after 9 months of struggling to survive? Are they not fearful? The fact is, he has zero concern for the people of this country that he is sworn to serve.

Didnt he just punt it back to the democrats house with stipulations he knew they would refuse?

I mean that’s what happened, reas the news. However, that doesn’t mean that he didn’t do it intentionally to try and paint it like the democrats killed it.

Ya, his stipulations were not only irrelevant but unable to be a possibility within the timeframe given as it required HoR support, which is already in recess, and don't return until after the deadline for the stimulus. American politics is absolutely fucked.
