Elizabeth Warren Calls for Border Wall Money to Be Redirected to Fight Coronavirus


Elizabeth Warren Calls for Border Wall Money to Be Redirected to Fight Coronavirus
Sen. Elizabeth Warren said that funds being used to construct the president’s border wall with Mexico should be redirected to help contain coronavirus, a quickly spreading epidemic with origins in China.

“I’m going to be introducing a plan tomorrow to take every dime that the president is now taking to spend on his racist wall at the southern border and divert it to the coronavirus,” the candidate said during a CNN town hall on Wednesday evening.

The senator also had harsh words for the president earlier in the week, posting tweets accusing him of “absolutely bungling” the United States’ response to the spreading virus. She accused Trump of “putting our public health and our economy at risk” and said that is “why we need a real plan and an adult in charge.”

Look, doing things to help other people is socialism. Those people will come to depend on each other. We certainly cannot have people depending on each other in some type of (I can hardly say the words, ugh), a society. I mean, what have we become people?

We all need to be selfish assholes, that is how reality, really works.

I am so sick of these fuckers.

27. One Of The Great Things About Warren
Thu Feb 27, 2020, 08:36 PM
Feb 2020

One of the great things about Elizabeth Warren is that she thinks on her feet and has apt and timely responses to problems and crises. This is a key ingredient for any potential President. Quick thinking combined with a balanced sense of judgement. Obama had that characteristic, and so does Warren.

It amazes me that she has not done better in the Primaries so far. She has run an admirable campaign. Anyway, word is that Trump was made aware of the coronavirus a month ago and he has done less than nothing about it. He is criminally dangerous and threatening the lives of the American People with his incompetence.

While Moscow Mitch was cozying up to the Russian oligarch for an aluminum plant in Kentucky, trumPutin was diverting funds from a school in Kentucky to go to his racist wall.

Trump needs to restore the Ebola money that he took for the wall, along with money that he took from soldier benefits.
