Rep. Omar: Trump's stimulus did more for Americans than Democrats' slimmed-down package

[Da King]

Rep. Ilhan Omar today said changes made in the Senate to the $1.9 trillion stimulus package passed out of the House now means it will deliver less for Americans than the previous package designed by Republicans and signed by former President Donald Trump.

"We obviously are now ultimately sending money to less people than the Trump administration."
When pressed by CNN's Brianna Keilar on whether she was saying that "Trump wanted to deliver more in the way of checks for Americans than Biden?" Omar responded affirmatively.

"Yeah," she replied. "So the last checks that we were able to send had given … 17 million more people than we will ultimately do with the caps now. And that, you know, is going to be something that we're going to have to explain, and I don't know if many of us have a logical explanation on why we are delivering less."

Democrats have gone from demanding $600 weekly PUA down to the Republican proposed $300 from months ago don’t forget about that promised $2k check

Democrats promised and ran campaigns on $2,000 checks.
Everyone understood that to mean $2,000 checks.

Not $600 and $1,400 four months later....to fewer people.

I'm liberal but Democrats should be getting fukking destroyed over this.
They control the Senate, the House and the Presidency.

The only thing preventing this is straight bytchassness.

No I and many other people clearly thought it meant an additional $1400 after the initial $600 totaling $2000.

Bernie Sanders wanted $2,000 a month checks for the duration of the pandemic a year ago.
And we're still haggling over scraps.

fukkin Canada has been doing checks for the duration of the pandemic. And we're the richest country on earth.

dems: we cant do shyt because of a republican senate

voters: voted for 2 democratic senators in Georgia


dems: joe manchin
voters:

what is the point of a fundamentally useless party

Dems promised 2k checks and did the switcheroo, lowered the amount and added restrictions

thats all well and fine but a lot of people understood that the $1400 would be in addition to the $600. I don’t care what a Bernie or anyone else wanted or hoped for many understood it to be what is likely going to occur with the additional $1400 added to the previous $600.

not debating or fighting just calling it like it is
