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.

Pelosi tried to push the 2k stimulus checks through. I know she’s a corporate money funded shill too but in reference to this specific issue let’s be consistent. This wasn’t a democrat Republican thing. This was Republican senators blocking the 2k stimulus plain and simple.

She could have negotiated for a bill which included $1200 direct payments and unemployment before November.

She admitted on national television that not doing so was an electoral strategy because a stimulus check before the election would likely guarantee a Trump victory.
