There are always two sides to everything, but two sides from the same person has me thinking ‘huh????’
Recently in the USA, the Covid relief bill finally passed in the Senate, scraping through with the Democrats 50 to the Republicans 49 (it looks like someone didn’t vote at all).
Why am I that interested in US politics? I hear you ask. Because I have a daughter living there and this current package is going to help her considerably.
The plan is $1.9 trillion, and it should have been released months ago but was held up due to old farts being more concerned about their party politics than the struggling people who make up the majority of citizens.
But it was this tweet by Mississippi Republican Senator Roger Wicker who riled my feathers (and others) at his sheer audacity.
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.
Great sentiments.
Hang on!
He voted AGAINST the bill (as did all Republicans). How can he be so two-faced and flip his opinion so quickly?
- Is he trying to curry favour with his constituents?
- Does the party bully the Senators into voting a certain way?
- Are the Senators swayed because everyone can see who votes for what?
Seeing this tweet certainly was a WTF reaction and had me asking way more questions and doubting this man’s integrity more than anything else.
Politics! I honestly don’t know how some people actually get voted in at all. Perhaps the general voters have short memories.
