They don’t want to open this can of worms.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin stood firmly in support of President Donald Trump’s newly signed executive orders during a recent interview with Fox.
According to Breitbart, After Mnuchin was asked about the legality of the orders, he stated, “We’ve cleared with the office of legal counsel all these actions.”
Adding, “If the Democrats want to challenge us in court and hold up on unemployment benefits to those hardworking Americans that are out of a job because of COVID, they’re going to have a lot of explaining to do.”
Fox’s Chris Wallace then asked, “Do you really think that the millions of families that lost jobs because of the virus don’t need that money, that they don’t need the extra $200 a week?”
Mnuchin replied, “We thought $400 was a fair compromise. But Let me just also say we offered to continue to pay $600 while we negotiate, and the Democrats turned that down.”
He then said, “They made it perfectly clear they’re not going to agree on a piecemeal deal, they want to hold up the American public from getting the money they need until they get everything they want, which is just a bad outcome.”

They have been lying, cheating, stealing from the citizens since Obama became President. Obama the worst President in our history criminalizing many federal employees to take down President Trump! Now the DemocRAT Politicians are using Antifa and BLM who our domestic terrorist to destroy Democratic cities. Trying to destroy our voting system so they can steal the election. The DemocRAT Party is now a criminal organization that does not believe in the laws of this country! How anyone would allow this to happen in our great country wants to destroy it!
Chris, even a blatant, blithering moron such as yourself can see that the Republicans and President Trump came to the stimulus table to negotiate; meanwhile, the Dimwits never had any intention to negotiate but to demand. So add unbelievable stupidity to the long line of Dimwit fails to push President Trump out of office–like the Russian hoax, the Mueller hoax (we want the $40 million back since these legal chumps knew from the beginning that there was no Russian hoax), the Pelosi/Schumer/Schiff failed impeachment, the Chinese Wuhan virus which has now killed over 500,00 people worldwide, and failure to address the unemployment, eviction, job needs of the average American. These fails are a collossal proportions and now the series of Dimwit indictments for treason, lying, fraud. The Trump landslide is coming!
At some point Democrat followers have to realize the Dem politicians are not the solution, they are the problem. Stuffing the programs intended on helping the suffering public with pork barreling programs for personal gain is not smart. They are making it worse for our citizens so they can pull off a power grab instead of helping everyone. Trump cares, Dems don’t.
As I have been saying and I will say again; the synonym for democrats is COLLECTIVE STUPID!
Bruno, I agree with you for sure!
