Every single Republican member of both chambers of the United States Congress voted against the Covid relief package. Every single Republican said no to struggling families; said no to struggling small businesses; said no to struggling American workers; and every single Republican said no to slashing child poverty in the US.
But Mississippi’s Republican Senator Roger Wicker was quick, I mean q u i c k, to take credit for the package and its content. This loud and proud hypocrite took to Twitter to praise the covid relief package and take a victory lap over how small business owners and workers in his state won a bunch of money from the package.
Independent restaurant operators have won $28.6 billion worth of targeted relief.
This funding will ensure small businesses can survive the pandemic by helping to adapt their operations and keep their employees on the payroll. Senator Roger Wicker (@SenatorWicker) March 10, 2021
Wicker probably won’t be the only voting-no Republican to show the same or even greater level of hypocrisy as polls show three-quarters of the American public support the Biden/Harris/Democratic Covid Relief Package.
