As lawmakers continue to mount arguments against either side of the political spectrum over pack of COVID-19 relief for Americans, Texas Senator John Cornyn (R) has also weighed in on the matter.
In a statement, the Lone Star lawmaker released scathing remarks, slamming Democratic leadership for stalling on providing coronavirus release for Americans during a time when COVID-19 cases are skyrocketing across the United States.
Cornyn expressed that “as we move into the winter months, which the experts have told us will present new challenges in our war against the COVID-19 virus, it’s time to cut the partisanship and deliver another round of relief to the American people.”
Moreover, Cornyn questioned why “our Democratic colleagues have consistently talked about the need to bolster our support in the fight against COVID-19, but despite repeated rhetoric and calls to action, they’ve unapologetically stood in the way of each and every attempt to make real progress,” adding that “the fact of the matter is our Democratic colleagues have blocked more COVID relief bills than they have passed.”
Ultimately, Cornyn asserted that “it’s time to start getting back to work for all the American people on a bipartisan piece of legislation and to quit the partisan games,” noting that he “can’t say it any more directly than that.”
