Democrats in the House Rules Committee on Friday voted against an amendment by Rep. Andy Barr (R-KY) that would prevent any American taxpayer-funded COVID-19 relief dollars from going to the Chinese Communist Party.
His amendment would have barred any of the $1.9 trillion in COVID-19 relief bill funds from being made available to “any enterprise, agency, instrumentality owned by the Government of the People’s Republic of China or the Chinese Communist Party.”
Barr said when he introduced his amendment to the Democrat-controlled committee:
The coronavirus, as you know, started in China. It was made worse by the Chinese Communist Party suppressing information about the spread of the virus and in no way should the CCP be able to further benefit from weaponizing the global supply chain and receiving the U.S. taxpayer funds.
“My amendment ensures that none of the funding in this bill, and particularly none of the $10 billion dollars in the international affairs funding, goes to entities owned by the Chinese government or the CCP,” he said.
Barr said his amendment was “common sense.”
How are these traitors allowed to breathe. So nowdemocrats can pay back thete china colluders..
Our tax money at work and we let it happen everyday.
Now the taxpayers are paying back China for their help in getting the virus in the U.S., helping rig the election and lining Democrats pockets with $$$$ to turn our country over to them.
