“President Pelosi and Democratic House leaders have the special subcommittee on the coronavirus crisis to legitimize their partisan attacks on the Trump administration’s reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic,” Scalise wrote Thursday.
PELOSI SAYS THE COVID-19 VACCINE WILL BE APPROVED IF IT IS APPROVED
Scalise criticized Democrats on the committee, saying they had repeatedly “repeatedly denied” Republicans the ability to call witnesses to testify and “forbidden” Republicans to “pursue critical investigative clues” Array, which said they were connected to “China’s role in the pandemic. “
However, Scalise said Republicans had received testimonies and data “showing that the president made a series of difficult decisions that saved lives and preserved the economy. “
“The facts are clear: President Trump’s leadership in this unprecedented pandemic has put our country on the path to a full recovery,” Scalise wrote.
In his review, Scalise said Republicans had discovered that China had “lied about the dangers” of the new coronavirus “while retaining” the non-public protection apparatus and allowed Chinese citizens to travel abroad.
Scalise and the Committee Republicans praised Trump’s leadership for responding “immediately” to the threat.
“President Trump has made difficult but effective decisions based on the recommendation of health professionals,” Scalise said. “The president’s decisions have saved thousands of lives. “
Scalise continued to promote the administration’s “unprecedented effort” to produce and distribute PPE, create what it described as “the world’s most productive testing infrastructure,” reduce deaths, and “create an effective vaccine faster than anything else in human history. “
Scalise also criticized Democratic governors for “ignoring the advice” of the Trump administration by referring positive patients to COVID-19 in nursing homes “causing tens of thousands of deaths. “
Meanwhile, the report, which Fox News received exclusively, said Trump management had a “plan to acquire PPE,” a plan to curb spread, referring to the “15 days to slow down the spread” in March, and the “30 days to Slow Spread” that ended in April; a ‘plan to increase testing’ and a plan to ‘safely reopen the economy’, ‘reopen schools safely’ and a plan to create a ‘safe and effective vaccine’.
It is known at this level when Democrats will publish a report on their investigation into the Trump administration’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
But Scalise went on to say that the Republican Party fears that Pelosi, a California Democrat, is trying to “politicize” the “well-founded” COVID-19 pandemic.
“The subcommittee’s Democrats pushed for partisan political goals and tried to score political issues at each and every opportunity,” Scalise wrote, criticizing Democrats for “voting on fictional articles of political judgment” while the president made “vital decisions early. “
“Instead of crossing the aisle to take bipartisan relief measures, President Pelosi continues to hold small businesses and Americans hostage to her liberal wish list,” Scalise said. “Instead of running with Trump’s leadership to expand a vaccine at a record pace, Democrats are actively running to undermine public religion and defame patriotic leaders who paint to save lives around the world.
NEARLY HALF OF THE UNITED STATES THAT HAS LOST A JOB IN THE PANDEMIC CANNOT LAST A MONTH’S SAVINGS
But Pelosi, D-California and the House Democrats are in negotiations with the White House and the House passed a $2. 2 trillion relief bill.
The bill went through 214 to 207 votes on Thursday night. All Republicans voted no, and independent Rep. Justin Amash also voted no.
This is the time for the bill the House has passed since May to combat the coronavirus pandemic, while the Republican-majority Senate has done nothing.
It is also that the Senate will approve this recently approved coronavirus package, as majority leader Mitch McConnell, Republican for Ky. , called it “strange” on Wednesday and warned that his Republican majority should remain at about $500 billion.
MNUCHIN AND PELOSI MAKE THE LATEST DITCH FOR CORONAVIRUS RELIEF OFFER BEFORE NOVEMBER ELECTION
The House of Representatives originally approved a $3. 4 trillion bill in May, known as HEROES Bill, the largest expense bill ever recorded in U. S. history, but the Senate reprimanded the bill as an overly expensive liberal wish list. McConnell filed two counterproposals in the months that followed with $1 trillion and about $300 in turnover, respectively, but none could get the Senate through, and Democrats said the effort had failed to cope with the severity of the pandemic.
The $2. 2 trillion House bill, such as HEROES 2. 0, would give Americans an economic lifeline as previous coronavirus relief systems have run out.
The law would provide more direct bills of $1,200 according to the taxpayer, which includes undocumented immigrants who pay taxes, and $500 according to dependents, repair unemployment of $600 in weekly federal assistance through January, and relaunch the pay-check coverage program to serve the smaller, nonprofit businesses they suffer.
Meanwhile, the coronavirus pandemic, which triggered an unprecedented closure of the national economy, caused the worst unemployment crisis since the Great Depression. Although the hard labor market has slowly recovered, the unemployment rate fell to 8. 4% in August after employers hired 1. 4 million. there are still 11. 5 million more Americans without paintings than in February.
On Thursday, the United States reported more than 7. 2 million of the new coronavirus and more than 207,000 deaths.
