Congressional Republicans turn up the heat to get a relief bill
for small businesses.

During a
press conference
at the Capitol on Thursday, House Minority
Leader Kevin McCarthy offered support to a discharge petition
drafted by Congresswoman Jamie Herrera (R-Wash.)

If passed, the bill would effectively bypass obstruction by
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to force a vote on the House
floor to extend the PPP program.

McCarthy (R-Calif.), Herrera and other GOP representatives
slammed Pelosi at the event. They said she admitted to playing
politics with small business relief.

How many more businesses have
to shutter?

How many more dreams have to be shattered?

How many more people have to be laid off before Nancy Pelosi and
the Democrats will act?

Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) blasted Pelosi for playing
games with American lives.

“There’s a long list of areas where we are in
disagreement,” Scalise said. “Every time the President, or
Secretary Mnuchin, or Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) put out another plan
on the table, all Speaker Pelosi does is say no.”

He added that Pelosi doesn’t come up with an alternative.

“They continue to play partisan games and people’s lives are
at stake,” Scalise continued. “This game has to end. This game
of chicken where hostages are being taken and the hostages are
America’s small businesses. The hostages are millions of families
who just want to be able to go back to work.”

The GOP also called on moderate Democrats, who previously said
they would support the petition, to “put their money where their
mouth is.”
