“This unserious proposal…"

WASHINGTON D.C. -

Tonight I voted NO against the supposed COVID relief bill because it shells out billions of our dollars to foreign governments. We need every dollar here helping our citizens. Instead we are buying billions in food for foreigners while bread lines form across the U.S. and American businesses remain closed by our own government. The Sudan, Egyptian military and Dalai Lama are not more important than American citizens. This unserious proposal increases funding for climate change studies and seeks to defund immigration enforcement and open our borders. I will never vote to allow our sovereignty to be so violated. The bill fails to compensate small and medium sized businesses while providing only meager relief to the American people.

I have previously voted for trillions of dollars in COVID relief aid that actually focused on Americans hurt by the pandemic. I cannot vote for the current package. When Congress votes to prioritize foreign citizens over our own, I will always call them out and will be an emphatic no.

Additionally, the bill is over 5,500 pages and Congress was given mere hours to read it. No member can honestly say they know exactly what they voted for this evening. That is reason alone to vote no.
