Lindsey Graham: “He is on the way. Here is the state of play, folks. If you are at home and you are a nurse or you are a doctor and you…”

“He is on the way. Here is the state of play, folks. If you are at home and you are a nurse or you are a doctor and you are running out of supplies, there is a lot of money in this bill that will help you. We just need to pass the damn bill. What is going on here? Endless negotiations. Mr. President, in case you are watching, tell Steven Mnuchin to come back to the White House and end negotiations. I am all for negotiating. I try to make deals. I understand the give- and-take of life and the give-and-take of politics, but I have been called by two good friends on the Democratic side in the last 5 or 6 hours wanting more money. End the negotiations. This bill is $2 trillion. There is a ton of money in this bill for people who need it. But what we are doing now is every special interest group in town is trying to get a little bit more--nickel-and diming--at a time when people are dying--literally dying. Businesses are having to make a decision: Do I send my employees on unemployment or do I hope that Congress can act so that I can keep them on the payroll? I tried to do my part in terms of bipartisanship, but this is ridiculous. Steven Mnuchin has done a good job. I appreciate his efforts to negotiate a bill that will help America. Senator McConnell says we are on the 2-yard line. I believe it. The problem is that there are 20 people playing defense, and we need to take some people off the field.…”
