Dems Block Amendment to Prevent Relief Funds from Going to China
Breitbart ^ | Kristina Wong

Posted on 03/01/2021 3:17:57 AM PST by USA Conservative

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.”

“There is no reason why my colleagues should oppose them. American tax dollars should benefit the American people during a pandemic, not undermine the national security interests of the United States,” he said.

He said allowing funds in the bill to subsidize the Chinese Communist Party would “only prove the lunacy of…a nearly $2 trillion dollar blowout that is being rushed through the House on a party line vote.”

After Democrats shot down the amendment, Barr said in a statement, “COVID-19 relief funds should not be used to subsidize businesses or entities owned by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).”

We’re financially supporting other countries again. Back to square one! Won't help their own people but send aid to China and other countries. What a sorry bunch of crooks. They should all be locked up and charged with treason.

China NEEDS the relief. Besides, all the money that is funding this bill was lent to the US by China, so they need a little “vigorish” to keep going.

Worse, we are paying the originator of the virus for the privileged of killing Americans.

Dems exposed their true agenda and sucked-up to the CCP by voting down an amendment to the trillion dollar
COVID-19 relief bill by Rep. Andy Barr (R-KY) to prevent tax dollars going to the CCP and “any enterprise, agency,
instrumentality owned by the Govt of the People’s Republic of China or the CCP.”

Barr said: "..... the coronavirus, started in China, made worse by the CCP suppressing info about it;
in no way should the CCP benefit from weaponizing the global supply chain. My amendment ensures that none
of the Covid funding, particularly $10B in "intnal affairs funding," goes to Chinese govt entities or the CCP."

All funding originates in the House under Pelosi's purview:
<><> Why does Pelosi want tax dollars to go to the CCP?
<><> Why did the Democrats pull out of the bipartisan China Task Force set up by Republicans?
<><> Why did Speaker Pelosi ditch Senate bills that would hold China accountable?

===========================================

Is this the reason why?

Pelosi ex-Staffer Registered As ‘Foreign Agent’ To Lobby For Chinese Communists

AUGUST 13, 2020 / By NATALIE WINTERS

BRENDAN DALY, FORMER COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR FOR NANCY PELOSI AND A POLITICAL APPOINTEE OF THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION, IS A REGISTERED FOREIGN AGENT WHO PROVIDED THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY’S PREMIER STATE-RUN MEDIA OUTLET CHINA CENTRAL TELEVISION NETWORK WITH “STRATEGIC COUNSEL” AS IT EXPANDED INTO THE UNITED STATES, THE NATIONAL PULSE CAN REVEAL.

During his tenure as Executive Vice President at Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide, Daly secured a contract between the lobbying behemoth and China Central Television Network (CCTV). Specifically, the firm helped the state-run propaganda outfit CCTV expand into American homes by “providing strategic counsel, identify relevant parties to communications activities, and media relations to support the launch of CCTV America.”

“Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide will work with CCTV America to communicate to the American public that CCTV America will provide compelling, comprehensive, and balanced news programming from an Asian perspective that is relevant to a global audience,” the 2012 filing in accordance with the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) noted.

Per CCTV’s FARA registration, however, the outlet is “supervised, owned, directed, controlled, financed, and subsidized” entirely by the Chinese Communist Party.

PELOSI ACCOMPANIED BY DALY, PICTURED ON HER RIGHT

Email correspondence from Daly identifies him as taking the lead on the account, as he spoke with CCTV’s American representative on the phone.

He also provided the outlet with a memo detailing Ogilvy’s strategy on the count, detailing how to best bridge the gap between American homes and Chinese Communist Party propaganda:The memo, sent from Daly, outlines how Ogilvy would provide CCTV with comprehensive support, including “influencer engagement” and “media relations support,” to achieve the “overall message that CCTV Americas is the source for business news in and with China, with credentialed, experienced and trusted journalists doing in-depth stories and reporting.”

“We are excited about the prospect of working with you to help establish CCTV Americas as the program to watch to succeed in an interconnected global economy,” the email concludes. CCTV has been identified by Freedom House think tank as a “long-standing weapon in Beijing’s arsenal of repression” whose mission “is to attack designated enemies of the Communist Party,” chiefly the U.S.

This. Many Republicans, and almost all Democrats, are owned lock, stock, and barrel by the CCP. Asterisk even told a loyal American during the campaign, “I don’t work for you”. It’s the truth!

At least the Brit appeasers of the 1930s weren’t on the take from the Nazis.

This will not end well.

As with Bammy, Biden will dishonor America and fold when the Chicoms make their next territorial conquest.
