Democratic Senator Eviscerates Ted Cruz After He Tried to Mock Proposal for Pandemic Relief and People Are So Here for It

Give every person in our country $2000/month for the duration of the pandemic, $2000/month for 3 months after that, and $2000/month retroactive to March.

Why be so cheap? Give everyone $1 million a day, every day, forever. And three soy lattes a day. And a foot massage.

We have a magic money tree — we should use it! https://t.co/0ODgPBhc4O

It's not a goddamn joke Ted. Millions of families are facing hunger, the threat of eviction, and the loss of their health care during a pandemic that is worsening every day. Get real. https://t.co/z6ygY8lSxc

This "politician" is really out here laughing about giving Americans in need help.

He's seriously joking about it.

All while still accepting his wage of around $14.5k a month ($174k senator salary)

Let that sink in https://t.co/V9cyHqWTqM

This a US Senator saying "Let them eat cake". What a disgusting ghoul. https://t.co/eScDzweDvM

Just like with the minimum wage,, every time the only argument they ever have is "we can't give a reasonable amount, because wouldn't it be ridiculous if we gave a ridiculous amount?"

It's honestly kind of insulting they believe people will fall for that sort of BS. https://t.co/YRPNHz09WW

If you gave me a $1 million a day for a year, I would have 0.2% of the wealth of Jeff Bezos https://t.co/N8T3cjz0K9

Ted Cruz and the rest of the @GOP always seem to find the "magic money tree" when it comes to defense spending or tax cuts for the wealthy. https://t.co/g5hXxtIEfV
