In keeping with locals, these are good organizations that may assist individuals with the stimulus funds, however Rep. Cawthorn had nothing to do with the invoice’s passage within the Home. If it have been as much as him, these well being facilities could be getting nothing.
As Speaker Pelosi mentioned a few weeks in the past at her weekly press convention, Republicans vote no and take the dough:
Individuals like Rep. Cawthorn are hoping that voters of their district don’t discover that they voted towards offering them help and stimulus. They hope that they will swoop in, take the credit score, and experience the wave of stimulus recognition to reelection.
It’s a cynical and hypocritical technique that must be known as out each single time a Home Republican tries to drag the wool over the eyes of the voters.
With out Democrats within the Home, Senate, and the White Home, there could be no stimulus, solely extra COVID in Rep. Cawthorn’s district.
