Washington, D.C. — Today, US Congressman Matt Gaetz (FL-01) issued the following statement in response to the US House of Representatives' passage of a government funding bill for fiscal year 2021 and a COVID-19 relief package:
The government should be working WITH business owners during the COVID-19 pandemic, not against them.
Medical innovations at the federal level are helping to reduce the COVID-19 death rate, whether it's with hydroxychloroquine, Remdesivir, or new opportunities with Moderna, Inc working with the Trump administration and the NIH to develop a vaccine.
Governor DeSantis is going on offense against COVID-19 and going into under-served areas to address the crisis.
In all the work Governor DeSantis and I have done together, I've never been prouder than when President Trump acknowledges that our team, working effectively to raise concerns related to COVID-19, results in better care for Florida residents and our constituents. U.S.
As Americans, we're not going to lose to this virus by fundamentally altering the rights and liberties that have built the most prosperous human society in all of history.
For years, the US government has been funding cruel animal experiments at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which may have contributed to the global spread of COVID-19 with virtually no US oversight. At best, Americans are funding people who are lying to us. At worst, we’re funding people who we knew had problems handling pathogens, who then birthed a monster virus onto the world.
Democrats got $350,000,000 for "Migration and Refugee Assistance" in the COVID-19 bill. These poison pills fuel their ambition to continue social engineering experiments through crisis response legislation. Democrats: This is not the time to advance your legislative agenda.
American tax dollars should not go to bail out China.
