Texas Lt. Gov Patrick says it’s time for Congress to take a pay cut, show Americans ‘you’re with us’
April 18, 2020 | Frieda Powers
Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick is calling on Congress to show solidarity with Americans hurt by the coronavirus crisis and take a pay cut.
With millions of people across the nation facing financial hardship due to government decisions to shut down the economy, Patrick believes members of Congress who “are not hurt†by the same constraints should stand with citizens, telling Fox News host Laura Ingraham that it’s high time lawmakers in Washington “feel some of this pain.â€
The Republican lawmaker noted on “The Ingraham Angle†Friday that Texans are ready to get back to work and a slow, safe reopening is being planned by state officials.
Ingraham asked Patrick about people’s worries that “their way of life is just going to go along with the virus,†noting examples in states like Michigan where cars with protesters staged a demonstration at the State Capitol in Lansing this week to push back against coronavirus restrictions.
