Schumer slammed President Trump’s decision to halt immigration into the United States Tuesday; calling the move a “diversion” during the Coronavirus pandemic.
“I think it’s another diversion. The agencies don’t even know what it is. No one knows what it is. Yesterday we were talking about WHO. The President needs to stop these diversions,” said Schumer.

Schumer accused his Republican colleagues of “helping bigger businesses” on social media this week; saying Democrats are fighting for “nail salons and delis” during the Coronavirus outbreak.

AOC: Senate’s Coronavirus Stimulus Package is ‘Historic Corporate Giveaway’
Controversial Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ripped the Senate’s Coronavirus stimulus package Wednesday afternoon; describing the proposal as a “historic corporate giveaway” at the expense of American workers.
“Just a reminder that there is absolutely no good reason why Senate Republicans are tying a historic corporate giveaway to getting relief money in the hands of families. They could just authorize sending checks to families today, right now, & deal with the rest. But they refuse,” posted Ocasio-Cortez on social media.

Members of the ‘Squad’ demanded a series of far-left proposals be included in the Congressional relief package to help Coronavirus victims this week; asking for the cancellation of student debt, banning of evictions, and prohibition of “executive bonuses” in the plan.
“Any rescue package must:
1) Cancel student debt
2) Fund losses for small businesses and local governments
3) Ban evictions and foreclosures
4) Ban stock buybacks and executive bonuses
We need a groundswell of support for these critical measures!” posted Omar on social media.
“The developments of this Senate relief bill are concerning. We are hearing lots of vague statements, but not a single member of Congress has seen actual bill text. It seems to give a *HALF TRILLION DOLLARS* away to big corporations, w/ few worker protections. Half a trillion,” added Rep. Ocasio-Cortez.

BLAME GAME: Fancy Nancy Blames GOP for ‘Delaying the Bill’ After ‘Congratulating’ Dems for Blocking Aid
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi bizarrely blamed Sen. Mitch McConnell for blocking Coronavirus relief aid after “congratulating” Democrats in obstructing previous bills to help small businesses.
“We were very pleased that the Senate finally accepted the fact that we needed more money for testing, for hospitals, for smaller businesses… It took them a couple of weeks, but they finally did. This is the fourth bill that we’re passing,” said Pelosi.
“Mitch McConnell likes to say that we delayed the bill. No, he delayed the bill…So he was the one wasting time,” she added.

Pelosi publicly “congratulated” Senate Democrats this week after the lawmakers blocked a $250 billion relief bill aimed at American small businesses struggling during the Coronavirus pandemic.
“Last week, they asked for a quarter of a trillion dollars in 48 hours. I said, ‘I don’t think so.’ … So, Chuck Schumer and I, this all happened on the Senate side, I congratulate the Senate Democrats. They went to the floor when McConnell asked for his $250 billion, and they objected,” said Pelosi.
