Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley talked about the need for covid relief amid another wave of coronavirus cases: "At this point, these are not even stimulus checks. These are survival checks. My constituents need these monies to remain safely housed. We are looking at an eviction tsunami. $600 does not even cover 1 month's rent." Aired on 12/18/2020.

Ayanna Pressley: ‘These Are Not Stimulus Checks, These Are Survival Checks’ | The ReidOut | MSNBC
the sad part is that after all that suffering they will still vote for them crooks I think is a mental illness thing. sad to say.
@K.J. Paasche so he’s like a liberal? But doesn’t mooch welfare?
@Generalissimo Donald Trump Trump has a better chance of staying in the White House then Hunter has of going to jail… prepare yourself for another round of tears snowflake 😂
It’s racism.
@Generalissimo Donald Trump pandemic donnie. That fat, bloated orange pig..
@Generalissimo Donald Trump you should change your name… try something more appropriate like Phantom of the Basement
Either way, I will cash mine. Hardship is a part of life, like it or not. Now, I see why the Russians like hacking SH*T!!
These checks need to be monthly disaster relief checks……AMERICANS ARE STARVING!!
Agreed!!!
A functioning moral society has the back of their citizens in times like these
Hi Truth seeker. What we really need is to get back to work bud. The truth is the government doesn’t have the money to do monthly checks bud. We would be destroyed in a year with no hope of recovery. We need to push through and open up. Thanks truth seeker and have a good night
History has seen this before and it wasn’t kind. It wasn’t to President Hoover and I doubt it will be kind to President Trump. First we had the Hooverville shanty towns during the Depression, and it won’t be too much longer ‘till the Trumpville Tent Cities start popping up before he leaves office in the midst of this Pandemic. Congress needs to give emergency relief to those that are in risk of being evicted and or foreclosed.
But they keep voting re thug li cans to office! Be careful what you ask for!
Mitch made it CLEAR we are getting NOTHING. The bill has been sitting on his desk since May.
HEAR, HEAR 👏👏
Nancy admitted she would not pass any stimulus before the election because it might make Trump look good.
“Tent City” like what CHICAGO did to the NATIVE Americans on THIER OWN LANDS
Now they drink and destroy the local fish population with 1/2 mile long gill nets
@Generalissimo Donald Trump So they drink but get up at 4 am to set nets? Your brain is Soo smooth it feels like glass.
With no city/state funding, services in every municipality will cut fire, police, teachers, transit, garbage collection, etc. Wait until red states, already desperately underfunded figure out that the concept of ‘ blue state bailouts’ really means.
What actually is too much money? $600 is pitiful, it is less than what they pay for the clothes on their backs. I do not blame them because their children do not have to go to bed hungry or sleep in strange places because they are homeless. I see families suffering terribly and God will judge everyone who is putting them in such situation.
This is a (SHAME)!!! JUST PITIFUL…
AMERICANS are STARVING while the ONE TERM GUY Contesting the ELECTIONS while excepting DONATIONS from his CULT SMFH
I can’t believe how much people have donated to him. SMH
I just sent 5k to Kelly and David. Best money ever spent.
@DONNIE Trump 5K stupid investment
*”We got money for war but can’t feed the poor”* *-TS*
@Big Boomer I believe William H Music 2020 is a bot. I keep seeing that exact same comment.
Jay Jay, it’s always been this way with Republican’s in office.
@Generalissimo Donald Trump you are a sick person! 🤪
Kick trp and his gtifter wife out of the Whitehouse and let the homeless live their just sterilize his bed.
@Big Boomer for what. Your a nut.
the pentagon spends a million dollars a minute
We ought to let the homeless live in the white house and put the polititions out on the street!
Ayanna your absolutely BEAUTIFUL 🌹
don’t forget all those tax breaks so corporations could buy back their stocks
The only reason Republicans are doing anything with stimulus checks is to help senate candidates in Georgia.
Stimulus money would be going back into the economy once again
She’s right, calling it “stimulus” is the wrong word.
Correct. Survival checks for those in need is more like it. And I have to say, if Walmart and grocery stores can be open then ALL businesses that do not bring people into the danger of getting Covid should be open, and ALL NEED TO PLEASE, PLEASE, WEAR MASKS!!!!!!!
