U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders Questions Mitch McConnell About $2,000 Check “Who Doesn’t Need It”

All of a sudden Mitch McConnell is “worried” that someone in America might get a $2,000 check “who doesn’t need it.”

Funny. He had no problem giving a $1.4 billion tax break to Charles Koch and his family with a net worth of $113 billion.

He had no problem giving a $560 million tax break to Sheldon Adelson, the casino tycoon who is worth $34.3 billion.

He had no problem giving a $104 million tax refund to Amazon over the past three years combined after it made $30 billion in profits.

He had no problem giving a $1 trillion tax break to the top one percent and profitable corporations.

Tens of millions of Americans have lost their jobs. They have lost their incomes. They have depleted their life savings. They are going hungry. And they are scared to death that they will be evicted from their homes.

I say to Senator McConnell: Start worrying about the people in this country who are hurting and not just your billionaire campaign contributors.

Stop blocking legislation from coming to the floor which would provide a $2,000 direct payment that the working class of this country desperately needs.

Let the Senate vote, Mitch!
