White House: ‘Bizarre’ That House Republicans Want Billions of Unspent COVID Funds Returned to Treasury

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Friday it was “bizarre” that House Republicans want to rescind unobligated coronavirus aid funds to the Treasury Department.

Fifty to sixty billion dollars in coronavirus taxpayer funds are unspent, according to FreedomWorks.

President Joe Biden suspended the coronavirus national emergency in April.

“Would he [Biden] be interested in reviewing whether there is some of that [COVID] money that could be returned to Treasury?” a reporter questioned Jean-Pierre during the White House press briefing.

Not to worry, they will find another way to squander our hard earned tax money.

“Fifty to sixty billion dollars in coronavirus taxpayer funds are unspent...”

Whatever happened to the Socialist Democrat Creed of, “Never let a crisis go to waste?”

That cash could’ve lined a LOT more pockets! Can’t imagine WHAT they were thinking. Bet they’re kicking themselves now!

*SMIRK*

It may be technically unspent but you can bet it’s been laundered.

HMMM...If President Trump were President right now, the lunatics would be screaming that the money should be returned yesterday... and we’d be hearing sounds of impeachment.

My worthless town is using COVID funds to pander to and coddle the drug-abusers and mentally-ill by calling them 'homeless' and building squatter camps for them. Since the funds didn't come from the 'locals', we don't appear to have a say in the matter.

Time to flush this crusty village.

They already ‘spent’ it on Biden Crime Family and others in the DNC and had no expectation of ever being asked to account for it, let alone pay it back. Our taxpayer dollars are used to directly fund the deep staters.

Just think of how manay drag shows you can buy with $50 or $60 BILLION dollars. How dare those Republicans want it returned? Maybe they expect to make some significant hush payments to cover up sexual assault or harassment charges. Speaking of which, how come they never released a detailed accounting of that a few years ago?

Why is it bizarre that victims of thievery want their money back?
Only a democrat would think so.
