They’re At It Again: The GOP is Demanding Biden Shoot Santa Claus
Slippery Republicans who voted for Trump’s stimulus are fighting Biden’s stimulus…because an election is coming
There’s a Democrat in the White House, so, predictably, Republicans are screaming that President Biden must shoot Santa: “No good things for Americans when a Democrat is in charge!”
This morning on CNN, Republican Senator Pat Toomey argued that Biden should get no stimulus out of Congress — none — even as the economic recovery stalls, almost a million people a week are newly filing for unemployment, and American children are going to bed hungry.
(Toomey is the same slippery senator who argued in 2017 that the GOP should ignore Democratic objections to Trump’s $1.5 trillion tax cut for billionaires, as Tapper pointed out on his CNN show.)
Republicans and “conservatives” are playing the same game they did when Barack Obama started his presidency in 2009: shrink the size of the recovery by gutting stimulus funds so people will become cynical about the promises of a Democratic president.
