Pelosi: Senate Republicans Have ‘Endless Tolerance for Other People’s Sadness’Hannah Bleau 30 Dec 2020
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Wednesday criticized Senate Republicans, and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) specifically, for blocking Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) request for unanimous consent on approving $2,000 stimulus checks for the American people, contending the Senate GOP possesses “an endless tolerance for other people’s sadness.â€
McConnell, Pelosi told reporters, is standing as an “obstruction†to providing direct relief to the American people following his move to block Democrat efforts for quick approval of raising individual stimulus checks from $600 to $2,000.
“Who is holding up that distribution to the American people? Mitch McConnell and the Senate Republicans,†Pelosi said, explaining Schumer requested unanimous consent Tuesday.
Republicans, she concluded, are “in denial of the hardship that the American people are experiencing now†— both health-wise and financially.
“So they’re in denial of that need in denying this benefit. I do hope that in the days ahead … that they will see the light and understand what the suffering that is going on in our country,†she said, noting that it is simply “amazing to see the patience that some people have with other people’s suffering.â€
“These Republicans in the Senate seem to have an endless tolerance for other people’s sadness,†she said.
