Elizabeth Warren wants to defund Trump’s border wall and use the money to fight coronavirus
CNBC ^ | 2/27/20 | Jacob Pramuk

Posted on 02/27/2020 2:59:16 PM PST by Libloather

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., unveiled a bill Thursday to divert money from President Donald Trump’s border wall to the U.S. coronavirus response.

As concerns rise about the outbreak spreading in the U.S., the 2020 Democratic presidential candidate argued the $1.25 billion in emergency funding sought by the president is inadequate. With the proposal, Warren not only aims to confront a budding public health crisis but also looks to knock a Trump policy she has called racist and divisive.

“The coronavirus outbreak poses serious health, diplomatic, and economic threats to the United States, and we must be prepared to confront it head-on,” Warren said in a statement. “Rather than use taxpayer dollars to pay for a monument to hate and division, my bill will help ensure that the federal government has the resources it needs to adequately respond to this emergency.”

Warren is among the Democratic presidential candidates who have focused more on the coronavirus this week. On Wednesday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed the first potential community transmission of the virus in the U.S. - a person who did not have the travel history or contact with a patient that would have put them at risk.

Open borders and free healthcare to illegals? What could possibly go wrong? What’s a pandemic or two? The more the merrier.

There seems to be a presumption among the liberals and media, that the Trump administration is not doing enough, or not doing the correct actions, to deal with Corona virus.

How the heck do liberals, media types, and Hollywood idiot comedians, know what is being done, in order to evaluate whether what is being done is adequate?

Since we haven’t had a pandemic here, can’t we say that some precautions have been taken, at the very least?

To listen to these idiots, you would swear that Trump and Republicans are in favor of pandemics, and that only good Democrats are against pandemics. Only good Democrats know how to deal with public health problems. We are supposed to believe that Mike Pence has no clue of what actions are needed for public health matters.

These people are insufferable.

More people have died at the hands of criminal illegals in this country than have died of Coronavirus. Take your plan Lizzie, and shove it up your arse.

If we kept people out of this country who aren’t supposed to be here, we’d have a lot fewer of a lot of diseases.

I saw a rumor that today’s shooter was a Warren supporter. If true then it will be covered up.

We need all of the wall, we need it right damn now. Our southern border is where we are most vulnerable and susceptible to inducing the corona virus into and across our nation.

Can’t this stupid moron under stand that?

The Border patrol caught three undocumented Chinese citizens crossing the border yesterday and they all had cold and fly symptoms.

All of them had interacted with large crowds of Hispanics who are set to crash the border when they find the opportunity.

Warren is felony stupid and dangerous.

She and the democrats and their open border and sanctuary city criminality totally own the responsibility for the epidemic of the corona virus that may soon ingulf our nation.

The Trump admin has stopped and tested airline and ship passengers coming from infected areas. These are know and tracked threats. They are manifested by name, address and positive ID.

The illegals that the left believes should be able to invade our country unhindered and then are protected in the left wing sanctuary cities, counties, and states are the real threat to our nation.

They are supported by, 100% supported by, the democrats.
