Sen. John Kennedy R-LA., blasted President Joe Biden’s proposed $1.9 trillion COVID relief bill Wednesday, calling it “chock-full of spending porn” unrelated to the coronavirus pandemic.
“This isn’t a coronavirus bill,” Kennedy said on “America’s Newsroom.” “This is a left-of-Lenin, neo-socialist wish list.”
Kennedy asserted that the Biden administration’s “infantile” approach to spending money is likely to continue after passing the coronavirus bill, with the introduction of a $3 trillion green energy bill.
“The objective is not to spend money – it’s not how much you spend, it’s what you spend it on,” Kennedy said.
A large portion of the funding for the coronavirus relief bill would not be spent until 2022 and beyond. Kennedy added that the bill contains funding for transit projects, language preservation, and billions of dollars for people who have entered the country illegally – hardly a “win” for the GOP or the American people.
WIBC’s Mock n’ Rob tore into the relief bill Friday and broke down some of the more egregious spending measures that were rammed through with the legislation.
