I can't stand it when I see a regular every day person being busted for a scam, stuff on Gofundme & other collection type of websites. But when it's a trusted elected official? That's a different ballgame.

What they will be doing is just what I said a few weeks back, trying to get other things in the funding process for things non-related to this virus. And that should be a 100% off limits option IMO. All of these funding and spending bills for this emergency, they should all be limited to specifically the virus.

It's not horrid but bad enough. How long before they campaign and raise extra money to fight it? And if someone gets busted doing so, and then using the funding for something else? Yikes, better not even think of that, either side.

Louie Gohmert: Democrats Taking Advantage of Coronavirus Crisis

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) told Breitbart News in an interview on Tuesday that Democrats exploited the coronavirus package by pushing for bigger government and policies that will hurt small businesses.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) pushed forward with Democrats’ coronavirus response package without many of President Donald Trump’s proposals, including a payroll tax holiday.

Gohmert said Democrats took advantage of the package to push for paid sick and family leave in the coronavirus package that negatively impacts small businesses.

Quoting former Barack Obama Chief of Staff, Gohmert said the Democrats “Never let a crisis go to waste.”

The Texas conservative revealed the package crafted by Democrats exempted businesses larger than 500 employees, exposing the Democrats’ corporatist tendencies. He said:


We were talking about really ramming the Department of Labor and Treasury through some small businesses’ lives. And so much for the Democrats’ hating big business and big corporations. Because you look at the bill, they exempted business with 500 or more employees. They targeted only businesses that have less than 500 employees. There was a time 12 years ago with Obamacare that they exempted businesses that had less than 50 employees. If they had a turnover over the last decade, they had a turnover with the small businesses and given the big evil corporations a major break.
