Democrats Confront Americans With High Prices And Surging Violent Crime
01/18/2024
Americans Aren't Falling For POTUS' Pitch On Bidenomics

Biden Admin's EV Obsession Sends Working Americans' Tax Dollars To China
08/03/2021
Tweet - "On Democrats' watch, six months in: (special character) Painful inflation (special character) Persistent unemployment (special character) Trillions in runaway spending (special character) Southern border crisis (special character) Continued violent crime surge The more Democrats' policies take effect, the more problems Americans face."
06/15/2021
Tweet - "The Biden Administration's spending has raised prices and made it almost impossible to get people back to work. Small businesses in Kentucky, and across America, can't compete with policies that encourage Americans to stay on the sidelines."
05/17/2021
Tweet - "The policies that we passed in March 2020 are not the policies we need in May 2021. We are a reopening country flooded with vaccines. Record job openings. Democrats should not be taxing the Americans who are back at work to continue paying extra benefits to those staying home."
05/13/2021
Tweet - "When Democrats forced through their partisan "COVID relief" bill, we said bad policies would slow rehiring and risk inflation. - April came in about 800,000 new jobs below expectations - Unemployment actually inched back up - The biggest reported inflation jump in over a decade"
05/10/2021
Tweet - "Vaccines are available nationwide. We have millions of unfilled job openings. It is not fair to keep taxing working Americans to continue paying an extra federal bonus to folks who continue to stay home. And it's holding back our nation's recovery."
11/17/2020
Tweet - "Republicans have tried for weeks to pass another targeted rescue package. It would send hundreds of billions of dollars to schools, unemployment aid, another round of the job-saving PPP, and healthcare. Democrats repeatedly blocked it all. Let's hope they let us make law soon."
11/10/2020
Tweet - "American workers are rebuilding our economy stronger & faster than anyone predicted. Experts predicted double-digit unemployment into 2021. Instead, it's down to 6.9%. More than 630k new jobs just last month. Too many are still hurting. Our work isn't done. But what progress."
10/21/2020
Tweet - "Senate Democrats just used the filibuster -- which they say they dislike -- to kill another coronavirus relief package. Unemployment benefits. PPP. Testing. Vaccines. School funding. Protections for people with pre-existing conditions. Every Democrat just voted to block it all."
10/17/2020
Tweet - "I just announced the Senate will vote next week on hundreds of billions more dollars for relief programs that Democrats do not even oppose. Working families have already waited too long for Speaker Pelosi's Marie Antoinette act to stop. Let's make law."

McConnell on The Guy Benson Show
09/17/2020
Tweet - "In 2019, under Republican policies: - Fastest annual growth in household income on record - Working-class & middle-class families saw more of the gains - Poverty lowest since 1950s That's the leadership our nation will need as we rebuild after COVID."
09/10/2020
Tweet - "Every Senate Democrat just voted against hundreds of billions of dollars of COVID-19 relief. They blocked money for schools, testing, vaccines, unemployment insurance, and the Paycheck Protection Program. Their goal is clear: No help for American families before the election."
09/08/2020
Tweet - "Republicans and Democrats have big differences, but they should not stop us from agreeing where we can and making law to help Americans through this crisis. Working families cannot suffer more because Democrats think their pain helps them politically. The Senate is going to vote."

USDA Extends School Nutrition Waiver at McConnell's Request

McConnell: House Democrats' Piecemeal Postal Bill Completely Ignores Struggling Families
08/10/2020
Tweet - "Because of Democrats' obstruction, the extra federal unemployment aid expired. The PPP is closed with no second round in sight. No new money for testing or schools. No second round of checks to families. Democrats held all this hostage for non-COVID-related liberal priorities."
08/08/2020
Tweet - "Struggling Americans need action now. I am glad that President Trump is proving that while Democrats use laid-off workers as political pawns, Republicans will actually look out for them. My full statement:"
08/06/2020
Tweet - "ICYMI, I joined @FoxNews to discuss Democrats' obstruction of the COVID-19 relief negotiations, how Republicans tried to keep extra unemployment benefits from expiring, and the need to keep small-business aid flowing."
08/06/2020
Tweet - "Democrats' obstruction last week forced the additional federal unemployment benefit to expire. Their obstruction this week will force another deadline: the PPP shuts its doors Saturday. Republicans had plans to keep both from expiring. Democrats have refused them all."
08/05/2020
Tweet - "Democratic leaders say they'll keep blocking federal unemployment aid unless we pay people more to stay home than to work. That isn't just bad economics, it's unfair. We should not be taxing essential workers to pay their neighbors a higher salary to stay home."
08/04/2020
Tweet - "We need to urgently help working families and those who've lost their jobs. But the Speaker and the Democratic Leader are blocking the entire rescue package over a special, unrelated tax cut for rich people in high-tax blue states."
