'The Marie Antoinette of the Senate': GOP Rep. King slams McConnell for suggesting states go bankrupt

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell drew scathing criticism from a Republican lawmaker Wednesday for saying he would prefer to see states file for bankruptcy than receive additional federal funds as they struggle to cover the costs of combatting the coronavirus outbreak.

Republican Rep. Peter King of New York blasted McConnell's for his comment in a tweet Wednesday night. He equated the senator from Kentucky's statement to the last queen of France's infamous (and apocryphal) "let them eat cake" response to the plight of starving peasants.

"McConnell's dismissive remark that States devastated by Coronavirus should go bankrupt rather than get the federal assistance they need and deserve is shameful and indefensible," King said. "To say that it is 'free money' to provide funds for cops, firefighters and healthcare workers makes McConnell the Marie Antoinette of the Senate."

Makes sense. How can we keep printing free money after the trump trickle down tax cuts didn’t work again...as expected.

The "Marie Antoinette" of the Congress is surely Nancy Pelosi and her freezer stocked with $12/pint ice creams.

You sure have "penis" envy, just because you can't afford ice cream, is no reason to rag on someone who can....

Trump has cost the tax payers in the Us about 340 Million for his golf trips, that is a fuck of a lot of $12.00 a pint ice cream now isn't it?

I almost think your just a BotBoy ALT, if not your just about as ignorant and uniformed as he is....
