Wow, nice plan Pocahontas. This is literally one of the dumbest proposals ever.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) introduced legislation on Thursday to redirect border wall funding to combating the coronavirus.
The bill, according to Warren’s office, would result in approximately $10 billion being shifted from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
“Rather than use taxpayer dollars to pay for a monument to hate and division, my bill will help ensure that the federal government has the resources it needs to adequately respond to this emergency,” the 2020 Democratic hopeful said in a statement.
The White House has suggested $2.5 billion to combat the coronavirus, while Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) is requesting $8.5 billion.
What number lawmakers will end up at as they negotiate on a supplemental bill remains unclear.
“The United States government must do more to address the spread of the deadly coronavirus in a smart, strategic, and serious way and we stand ready to work in a bipartisan fashion in Congress and with the administration to achieve this necessary goal,” Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said on Thursday in a joint statement.
“Lives are at stake — this is not the time for name-calling or playing politics,” they added.
Closing borders is one of the things that would help stop the spread of the virus. But she wants to redirect funds that the orange man is using to better secure the southern border.
How does this make any sense?
Why not redirect all the money going to Israel to help with the virus situation? Or how about the money going to fight all these stupid Zionist wars? Seems like it would be much more logical to redirect money going to these wasteful projects.
Why try to make a political point about money for border security when border security is one of the things that will help the government contain the virus?
Total stupidity from this dumb Indian bitch.
