Speaker Pelosi Says McConnell’s Request for a Swift $250 Billion Small Business Loan a ‘Stunt’

EXCERPT:

PELOSI: "Secretary Mnuchin called and asked for a quarter of a trillion dollars in 48 hours. With no data. Just quarter of a trillion dollars in 48 hours. This morning, Leader McConnell honored that request — I say honored. Really dishonored the needs that we have with a stunt on the floor of the Senate requesting $250 billion. No data as to why we need it and the rest, when there are outstanding needs. We should have been doing, and what we offered to do was to sit down and figure out what the numbers are that are needed most urgently.”
