Warren writes: "The last Zika bill the House Republicans passed - jammed through at 3:00 am during the Democrats' all-night sit-in for gun violence - was a pathetic, dishonest, malicious bill loaded with poison pills that Speaker Ryan knew would never be passed into law."

Is This a Sick Joke?

By Elizabeth Warren, Elizabeth Warren's Facebook Page

12 August 16

 

ika is a public health emergency, but the Republicans who control Congress have no plans to pass a bill funding the Zika emergency response until after Labor Day. The last Zika bill the House Republicans passed – jammed through at 3:00 am during the Democrats' all-night sit-in for gun violence – was a pathetic, dishonest, malicious bill loaded with poison pills that Speaker Ryan knew would never be passed into law. I didn't think the Republicans could write one bill to hurt women, veterans, Obamacare, Planned Parenthood, and clean water all at once – while making it easier for racists to fly the Confederate flag – but they did it.

When a reporter asked Senator Mitch McConnell why he wouldn’t pass a clean Zika funding bill, he said that’s just the way things are done in Washington. Is that some sort of sick joke? Every day the GOP stalls funding the Zika response, more people get sick. More babies risk being born with heartbreaking head deformities.

Join me in calling on Speaker Ryan & Leader McConnell to bring back Congress now to pass a clean Zika funding bill.
