Tweet - "Spoke with @hughhewitt about a viable #Phase4 #COVID19 relief bill. I told him that anything that passes the Senate has to be #bipartisan, but, sadly, it's hard to find any moderate Dem to sit down with because they're so held hostage to the House agenda."

Tweet - "Was on the air with @hughhewitt this AM. We spoke about House Dems' massive new spending package that's really a grab bag of Dem agenda items disguised as #COVID19 relief. As was said, it mentions cannabis more times than it mentions jobs. Nobody is taking it seriously."

Tweet - "House Dems' bill includes tons of non-#COVID19 items. I keep hearing this bill branded as "CARES 2." They're trying to tie it to GOP's bipartisan #CARESACT to disguise their bad policy. It's a stretch to even call this a Phase IV approach since it has no chance of becoming law."
