House GOP rejects unanimous consent on $2,000 direct payments
By Naomi Jagoda and Juliegrace Brufke - 12/24/20 09:22 AM EST

House Republicans rejected an effort by House Democrats on Thursday to pass a bill to provide $2,000 stimulus checks — up from the $600 approved in a sweeping coronavirus relief and omnibus spending package earlier in the week.

Democrats offered the bill after President Trump raised objections to the $2.3 trillion COVID-19 relief and omibus spending package approved by Congress on Monday.

Trump explicitly complained that the $600 direct payments to Americans included in the bill were too small, calling for the checks to be $2,000.


Democrats seized on the president's words to try to put Republicans in a difficult spot, arguing they also preferred the higher payments.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) offered the measure to boost the check size to $2,000 during the Christmas Eve session of the House by unanimous consent.

The Rats wanted to keep the entire Christmas Tree of misappropriations where most of the money would go offshore, and illegal aliens would get 3X what legal citizens get.  That wasn't the deal Trump was offering.

@MichaelDeLauzon

Notice how Congress slithered out of town yesterday without passing a separate Bill to give $2K relief to Americans. They rushed passed their Bill so fast that Members of Congress were not given time to read their kickback scam. So they refused to move to help us and left town

Trump is the only guy in the swamp who gives a shit about you.

It's never been more obvious.

In 2016 some windows were opened to allow some fresh air into the fetid swamp that is Washington D. C. and the PTB are determined that they WILL be shut no matter what it takes! A Free Republic no more!
