Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) on Sunday urged President Trump to sign the coronavirus aid package that has passed Congress, warning the president’s legacy is at stake.
“You don’t get everything you want, even if you’re president of the United States,” Toomey said on “Fox News Sunday.” “I think the COVID relief measures are really, really important.”
“In my state, as in many other states, we have governors who are closing down businesses again,” he added.
Toomey called it a “hopeful sign” that Trump has not yet vetoed the bill passed by Congress, even as he has demanded larger direct payments of $2,000 to Americans.
The Pennsylvania senator suggested that the president was thinking of his legacy with the demand but said that “he’ll be remembered for chaos and misery and erratic behavior if he allows this to expire.”
“I understand the president would like to send bigger checks to everybody. ... I think what he ought to do is sign this bill and then make the case,” Toomey said. “I don’t agree with $2,000 to people who have had no lost income whatsoever, but the president’s free to make that case.”
Asked about Trump’s recent round of presidential pardons, Toomey said former national security adviser Michael Flynn was the victim of prosecutorial misconduct and that it was “perfectly legitimate to pardon him.”
However, he said that in “some of these other cases we have tax fraud, bank fraud, witness tampering, obstruction of justice,” in an apparent reference to former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort. Toomey compared the pardons to former President Clinton’s pardon of financier and Democratic donor Marc Rich.
“It is legal, it is constitutional, but I think it’s a misuse of the power,” Toomey said.
The irony of this statement is apparently lost on this moron.
Good point and so true. He could use it as a springboard to running for governor in 2022 but I suspect he has his sights on a lobbying job.
He rode the wave in 2010 I seem to recall
Once in he took the mask off.
Pelosi will be remembered for not being able to count the days needed to conclude negotiations to prevent a ‘pocket veto’ - so ends the first congress with the House lead by a woman
Getting kickbacks by throwing US taxpayer money at foreign countries is more important to the Rat/RINO uniparty of treason than helping US citizens.
LOL LOLOLOLLLLL LOL the ONLY message that would get any traction at all at this point would start with a 180 db crack and make a loud buzzing sound as it travels next to the politicians ear
...and Toomey will be remembered as an insufferable disloyal little pr#%ck who never accomplished anything for the people of PA.
I dont blame you.
Senator Pat Toomey (R-PA) goes full radical Marxist/Communist.
Did Sen. Toomey ever blame the Democrat Party Cabal (including the Communist China Party leaders, fake-news-MSM, George Soros, Dominion and Smartmatic, violent Marxist BLM/Antifa wild thug rioters, and Big Tech/social media company censors) for any "chaos and misery and erratic behavior?" Never. Never.
Sounds like he is for sure
Thank you for spelling loser right. I swear, if I see one more person spell it as “looser” I am going to LOSE my sh—!
Toomey what a dip stick. Congress had MONTHS to get this worked out, and as usual waited until the last possible second to do anything. Toomey et al are the problem - trying to stuff porkulus down the throats of the american people while spending at least 3X the money for crap in ofter countries (rant off)
What a useless tool.
Or not.
What a joke, right? Well meaning people who beg us to call, fax, write, email our reps. No thanks, I'm more interested in tearing down the mess they created, brick by brick.
Toomey is Pennsylvania’s version of a Bush League Republican.
He’ll never get reelected unless he starts focusing on the fraud.
Nearly 100,000 small businesses have shut down as of October. If the slush fund to art institutes (which are closed anyway) and all the foreign aid was cut, there would be enough to give $55K to bail out each of those businesses. But fellows like this in Congress let 100K Americans sink instead.
President Trump will be remembered for all time as as brave and beloved patriot, unlike... unlike...
Wait. Who were we just talking about??
Isn’t this the disgusting IDIOT who was pulling on his own pork in front of a camera which he thought wasn’t on? Why, I ALWAYS take advice from venal subhumans like that. And BTW, Trump did a fantastic job with a completely unknown quantity, i.e. COVID, bravely going where no man had gone before. He kept getting conflicting reports about it, how contagious, how effective various treatments were, etc. and boldly went ahead with a plan—which largely worked. Additionally, he pushed through the lightning fast development of a vaccine for it, provided hospital equipment, rooms (the ships), and a lot of other help for communities very affected by COVID. So Toomey, who masturbates on Zoom, is full of baloney and a total liar when he complains about Trump’s [masterful] response to COVID.
