Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's new $3 trillion coronavirus spending proposal is politically motivated "garbage" that "doesn't pass the laugh test," Sen. Bill Cassidy argued Wednesday.

Appearing on "America's Newsroom" with host Ed Henry, Cassidy, R-La., said Pelosi tried to get away with more liberal additions to the bill once again, but this time it's hidden in the fine print.

"Clearly she went to her committee chairs and she said give me that which you think maybe we can get in here – a starting point for negotiations so we’ll look reasonable when we retreat from it," he explained. "On the other hand, it is socking it to the American people, cynically saying we’re here to help you but rather instead trying to fulfill a leftwing agenda."

Pelosi’s super crazy $3 Trillion bill should be the subject of an entire comedy series.
We need a laugh.

Madam Farage Pelousi has managed to rip off the country for six killion so far, and no one except me is stopping her.

The HEROES Act also pushes states to allow voting by mail, but Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., tweets that Democrats “would *prohibit* states from requiring photo ID, notarization, or witness signatures to send or receive mail-in ballots.” Cotton notes: “This is the perfect storm for voter fraud.”

This is rare. Cassidy normally has a profile so low he is invisible.

He’s been much more outspoken lately. His constituents are pissed off they’re flooding his office with calls.
Nice to see.
