San Francisco – Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued this statement on House Republicans blocking Democrats’ Unanimous Consent request to increase economic impact payments to $2,000, as the President called for:
“Today, on Christmas Eve morning, House Republicans cruelly deprived the American people of the $2,000 that the President agreed to support. If the President is serious about the $2,000 direct payments, he must call on House Republicans to end their obstruction.
“House and Senate Democrats have repeatedly fought for bigger checks for the American people, which House and Senate Republicans have repeatedly rejected – first, during our negotiations when they said that they would not go above $600 and now, with this act of callousness on the Floor.
“On Monday, I will bring the House back to session where we will hold a recorded vote on our stand-alone bill to increase economic impact payments to $2,000. To vote against this bill is to deny the financial hardship that families face and to deny them the relief they need.
“Hopefully by then the President will have already signed the bipartisan and bicameral legislation to keep government open and to deliver coronavirus relief.”

This hen has been sitting on funds for months and after election admitted to doing so. For her to talk out her ass and say different is not surprising. This hen is an evildoer and needs to be put out to pasture. Time the media call her out on this.

Pelosi should be realistic. She knows the bill has so much pork waste that is insulting to the American taxpayer. Billions of dollars for nothing to do with relief to Americans. The awful waste of our tax dollars in this bill for special interest is moronic. Take the pork out and increase the relief to Americans not things such as 33 billion to Venezuela or counting fish. Pelosi is twisting words and is not trustworthy anymore. I commend those
Lawmakers who will stand up for real relief for Americans and stop waste.
Has nothing to do with the MONEY TO THE AMERICAN CITIZENS and TOTALLY has to do with the MONEY going to FOREIGN COUNTRIES and PORK SPENDING. Shame on any CONGRESSMAN OR CONGRESSWOMAN that would even ASK THE AMERICAN PEOPLE for such a BOONDOGGLE OF A BILL. NO MONEY FOR ANYONE OTHER THAN AMERICAN CITIZENS IT IS OUR MONEY AND SHOULD COME ONLY BACK TO THE TAXPAYERS and no one ELSE…PERIOD!!!!
The queen of the corrupt Dumbocrats!!
Senile Slow Biden, Kumela and drunken corrupt Pelosi! The Dumbs must be so proud.
$2000. I can buy a pair of guillotines.
One “Red” and one ” Blue”. ;-
Hahaha its funny how people (republicans) are attacking Pelosi for supporting the $2,000 that TRUMP (republican leader) wants. I swear, you folks look stupid- On election day you had Trump supporters in Arizona chanting “Count the the vote” However, Trump was chanting “stop the count”…..as a person with no party affiliation I declare the republican party as a pack of inbred idiots.
This comment from someone who supports Joe Biden and the Democratic Party which has no problem murdering children in the wound even after the time of birth and a presidential candidate whose mentor was a Klu Klux Klan leader and a China communist sympathizer for his 47 years in office.
Thank you for sharing just how corrupt, racist, and disgusting the Democratic Party truly is!!!!!
Hahaha is yet another keyboard warrior showing everyone how big and bad he is.
Johnny Law is yet another ECT warrior showing everyone how small and laughable he is with his WEAK comeback lines.
“Corrupt”, your criticism of the Democrats is valid. But the fact is that Republicans in Congress are no better and Trump is an incompetent horse’s ass. Maybe its time for a new centrist party. I’m sick of both of the current ones.
