'Insufficient': Pelosi rejects latest White House aid offer

It’s looking far less likely that Congress will pass a new coronavirus aid package in 2020.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi again rejected a White House compromise offer on a coronavirus aid package, telling fellow Democrats in a letter Saturday that “the Trump proposal is insufficient.”

President Trump on Friday signed off on a $1.8 trillion proposal that White House negotiators hoped would facilitate a deal with Democrats, who control the House.

While the offer proves $200 billion more than a previous package offered by the Trump administration, it’s far short of the $2.4 trillion Pelosi had been asking for in private talks with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. It’s also far less than the $2.2 trillion measure that House Democrats passed earlier in September.

Holding aid politically hostage is par for the course with this bitch.  Even more of a bitch will be how the MSM fails or underreports that fact.

Pelosi can smell November bigger than sh__.
