Freshman New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had some harsh words for President Trump today after he said that he was rejecting the stimulus proposal from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
AOC claimed that the decision is “What an anti-everybody agenda looks like: The President & GOP are walking away from getting ANY COVID stimulus relief done, effectively endangering millions, after *they* themselves got COVID & enjoyed free socialized healthcare, so they can push through an anti-ACA SCOTUS pick.”

In a four part tweet, the president laid out his reasoning behind the move.
“Nancy Pelosi is asking for $2.4 Trillion Dollars to bailout poorly run, high crime, Democrat States, money that is in no way related to COVID-19. We made a very generous offer of $1.6 Trillion Dollars and, as usual, she is not negotiating in good faith,” he began.
“I am rejecting their request, and looking to the future of our Country. I have instructed my representatives to stop negotiating until after the election when, immediately after I win, we will pass a major Stimulus Bill that focuses on hardworking Americans and Small Business,” he continued.
Trump then stated that he “has asked Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell not to delay, but to instead focus full time on approving my outstanding nominee to the United States Supreme Court, Amy Coney Barrett.”
He concluded by saying, “Our Economy is doing very well. The Stock Market is at record levels, JOBS and unemployment also coming back in record numbers. We are leading the World in Economic Recovery, and THE BEST IS YET TO COME!”

America First supporter Lori Hendry applauded Trump’s decision, saying “President Trump working for the American people Pelosi and Democrats working hard for Democrat ‘leaders’ who mismanaged their states taxpayer funds and working hard for illegals!”

California resident “TC” also supported the move and said, “Thank you!!! For not bailing out California ..and we live here. Gavin Newsom, Speaker Pelosi, and crew are ruining this beautiful state.. & federal tax dollars should not cover for their incompetence.”
