Barbara Lee: Trump, McConnell Saying HEROES Act Is DOA Is ‘Disgusting, Inhumane, and Un-American’

RUSH EXCERPT:

LEE: “You know, it just shows who they are, and unfortunately their values really demonstration to the public they care more about corporations and millionaires and billionaires than the people. This is a bill that make sure during this pandemic that the contact tracing, the testing, the treatment is put into place, especially where the impacts are the greatest. Why in the world would the president and Mcconnell not want to see us test more, especially in black and brown communities most impacted? Why in the world would they not want us to help on the unemployment compensation extension through January, which we put if more money through Jan we’re? Why wouldn’t they not want to help small businesses? Why would they not want to help state governments who hire our essential workers as the states move to open up? I don’t understand why they would even — why they would resist. They have come kicking and screaming on every bill, but I applaud speaker Pelosi for moving this bill forward. We have got to take care of people in this country, and we have to make sure that people survive, not only survive through the health provisions of this bill we put in, but also the economic in terms of the impact on their families. 36 million people are unemployed, and so I am just furious they would even send that message out to the public. It’s so disgusting, unhe main and un-American.”
