Sen. Marco Rubio said Wednesday he’s prepared to vote for more COVID relief, as the American people need help, but he insisted he’s not going to “get punked” into voting for the Democrats’ $1.9 trillion COVID bill because it’s a “fraud.”
“You put out a bill, you call it COVID relief,” the Florida Republican said on Fox News’ “Fox and Friends.” “The problem is that’s not what the bill is. That’s what the packaging is, but on the inside, it’s all kinds of other things. You know, ultimately it aims to get money into the hands of Planned Parenthood. What does Planned Parenthood have to do with COVID?”
The bill also bails out some states that were “irresponsible even before the pandemic,” said Rubio.
He added that he’s for many other kinds of aid, including individual payments for Americans that former President Donald Trump had been seeking at the end of his presidency, but “we shouldn’t be pressured into voting for something that isn’t what it says it is, and that people are going to regret once this thing passes and they see what’s in it.”
