It’s sheer hypocrisy by the radical right. At the same time, I note that Leader McConnell and Republicans did give people a lot of money. It’s just that those folks were corporate folks and the 1 percent of our nation. So it’s not as if Republicans didn’t do the same thing. They just chose to give it to the top 1 percent of our country. Democrats are benefiting the 99 percent. And what we do see is the American Rescue Plan being effective. We got shots in the arms, kids back into schools, people in their jobs and cash in their pockets. So, the plan is working. And, at the end of the day, Americans will see that their life is better now than it was under Donald Trump and Republican control.
