McCarthy blames Pelosi's 'personal wish list' for coronavirus stimulus bill failure
'Every time we've done legislation when it comes to COVID, Nancy Pelosi has always held it up for her own personal wish list,' McCarthy said
By Andrew O'Reilly | Fox News
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., on Sunday heaped the blame on Congress’ failure to pass another coronavirus stimulus bill on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's “personal wish list†and defended President Trump’s use of executive orders to defer payroll taxes and replace an expired unemployment benefit with a lower amount.
“Remember, every time we've done legislation when it comes to COVID, Nancy Pelosi has always held it up for her own personal wish list,†McCarthy said during an interview on “Sunday Morning Futures.†Remember when we did the Cares Act, she held it up for more than a week when thousands of people were being unemployed because she wanted more money for the arts and the Kennedy Center… now when we are sitting here coming forward with people unemployed again, she held it up.â€
McCarthy’s comments come a day after Trump signed his executive orders following the collapse of negotiations with Congress on a new coronavirus rescue package.
