White House: ‘Bizarre’ That House Republicans Want Billions of Unspent COVID Funds Returned to Treasury

Wendell Husebø 21 Apr 2023

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Friday it was “bizarre” that House Republicans want to rescind unobligated coronavirus aid funds to the Treasury Department.

Fifty to sixty billion dollars in coronavirus taxpayer funds are unspent, according to FreedomWorks.


President Joe Biden suspended the coronavirus national emergency in April.

“Would he [Biden] be interested in reviewing whether there is some of that [COVID] money that could be returned to Treasury?” a reporter questioned Jean-Pierre during the White House press briefing.

Jean-Pierre praised Biden’s management of the pandemic but said the pandemic is not over. “But we are in a different place,” she claimed.

“It is bizarre, after the progress that we have seen, for Republicans to be asking this,” she said about returning taxpayer funds to the Treasury.

If the funds are unspent, and the Covid Emergency is ending, it only makes sense to have unspent money allocated for the Covid Emgergency to be returned.

 

Bureaucrats are either dummber or lazier to let money go unspent.  Yesteryears' Dems would have never let this happen.

Of course. Let's just route the funds to Hunter Biden's account.
