GOP Senator Absurdly Tries to Claim Credit for Stimulus That He Voted Against
A Republican senator who, like every other Republican in Congress, voted against the coronavirus economic relief package, is touting aspects of the bill and promoting them in a way that suggests he deserves credit for them.
Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Mississippi) tweeted about aid to restaurants across the U.S. that is included in the bill mere hours after it was passed in the House of Representatives.
“Independent restaurant operators have won $28.6 billion worth of targeted relief. This funding will ensure small businesses can survive the pandemic by helping to adapt their operations and keep their employees on the payroll,” Wicker wrote.
The tweet raised more than a few eyebrows, as Wicker had voted against the bill’s passage within the Senate.
