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

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."

Stimulus update: Latest news on stimulus checks and US relief bill


Democrat bait and switch

 

Democrats support and pass a bill, no Republicans support it at all... but the Democrats are the bad guys

 

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



unless you’re now saying Rep Omar is some MAGA supporter, because every democrat house nikka on this board would respond with “you’re MAGA” with any criticism of democrats

 

p*ssy ass Dems can't never stay on code

She knows EXACTLY why less people gonna get checks but of course she goes and says that shyt

 

Republicans get power and say fukk bipartisanship and gets everything done for their constituents.

democrats get power and want bipartisanship and get nothing done for their constituents.

dems are p*ssy.

 

Yeah I agree the Dems renegging on this is completely unacceptable. And I am not even a "both sider". Its just so politically and economically foolish

 

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.

 

If you want names you can pretty much blame joe manchin for all of this

 

Look at this stupid ass spin

 

Dems got to say fukk the rethugs and that bipartsian come in the middle bs

Repubs are ruthless

Idk why dems are so scared of them

But manchin the main reason for this compromise

Put ur fukken foot down u got power

Dam

 

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.

 

always some BS with democrats

gave them presidency, senate and the house
yet they keep coming up with excuses

dems: we cant do shyt because of Trump

voters: voted TRump out

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
