Rep. Dan Crenshaw blasted the passing of the massive $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill, accusing Democrats of bribing people.
“Bribing people with their own money is dishonest and unsustainable,” the Texas Republican tweeted, along with an appearance on Fox & Friends in which he explained his opposition to the package.

“If you’re really happy about getting a $1,400 check — again, imagine that: Giving free money to people is popular, I get that — but here’s the thing: It’s costing you $5,700, give or take, and if you’re not paying for it, your kids are,” the Texas Republican said on Thursday.

“Look, if this is really as popular as the Democrats say it is, we’re in a lot of trouble as a country,” Crenshaw added. “It means that we have fully given in to this notion that we should be bribed by our government for false promises. And that is not an American thing to do. We have to collectively stop doing that. It’s going to destroy the next generation. It’s already threatening to cause massive inflation.”

The spending package was signed into law by President Biden on Thursday and will provide $1,400 stimulus checks to millions of people, provide an additional $300 a week in unemployment, and send hundreds of billions in aid to local and state governments.
