House Democrats' H.R.-1 "For the People Act 2021" is not a COVID-19 relief bill, because 91% of it is for things other than addressing the virus — mostly a bill to help Democrats stay in power — according to Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, on Newsmax TV.
"The left wants to cancel Newsmax, they want to cancel President Trump, and now they want to cancel fair elections," Jordan told Thursday's "Spicer & Co." "This bill nationalizes elections, nationalizes all the problems we saw in the last election."
"Maybe the most egregious thing is it requires taxpayers to pay for elections," Jordan added to host Sean Spicer. "So, think about this: The same politicians who take your money and spend 91% on something that's not related to COVID, and call it a COVID bill — those same people now are going to take your tax dollars so they can get reelected.
"Such a deal."
Not only are the attacks on free speech and election law shocking, but Jordan said, "We've got to start controlling this spending.
"It's time to go back to school, go back to work, go back to normal and not just keep spending money, particularly with 91% of it isn't even for COVID," he said.
"This is just fundamental for me and for so many Americans, the fundamental thing is, it's time to get back to normal."
