“#Kevin McCarthy blames Nancy Pelosi for COVID relief inaction<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n WASHINGTON \u2014 House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy ripped House Speaker Nancy Pelosi over the months-long COVID-19 aid stalemate, saying she was the only person stopping relief from reaching tens of millions of Americans.<\/p>\n

\u201cThings are still at the same place. There\u2019s one road block. There\u2019s one big wall that\u2019s stopped this the entire time and it\u2019s Speaker Pelosi,\u201d McCarthy (R-Calif.) said during his weekly press conference on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would think after the politics she played and the election being over, that she\u2019d now put the American public first. She still seems to be in the same position,\u201d he went on.<\/p>\n

Congress has not passed any economic relief since April with Democrats and Republicans unable to agree on how large the package should be and what should be covered.<\/p>\n

Democrats have repeatedly blocked narrow coronavirus relief bills in favor of the $3 trillion HEROES Act that House Democrats passed in May. A slimmer $2.2 trillion version passed in September failed to revive the long-stalled talks.<\/p>\n

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Wednesday called the package a \u201cmulti-trillion-dollar laughingstock\u201d while even some Democrats like outgoing NY Rep. Max Rose said it was \u201ca middle finger to the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Thursday, McCarthy called on 23 moderate Democrats to make good on their promise to sign a GOP resolution to force a vote on emergency aid for small businesses, extending the Paycheck Protection Program.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis could be done today and help could be on the way,\u201d he said of PPP.<\/p>\n

\u201cSpeaker Pelosi\u2019s app<\/a>roach, that nothing is better than something, is wrong and everybody knows it and the American people have paid the price for it,\u201d he went on.<\/p>\n

McCarthy said it was \u201cdisgraceful\u201d that Democrats were \u201cclamoring to go home for the rest of the year\u201d and called on Pelosi (D-Calif.) to keep the House in session until relief was passed.<\/p>\n

The stalemate endures even as the nation experiences a troubling record spike in daily coronavirus infections and passes the grim milestone of 250,000 deaths.<\/p>\n

However, Democrats have lashed the GOP as \u201cheartless\u201d for being unwilling to pass anything beyond its $1 trillion ceiling and include funding for broke state governments.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only one who has refused to lift a finger on COVID relief, even refusing to take part in negotiations, has been Senator McConnell,\u201d Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said in a statement on Sunday.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
