President Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package is false advertising, GOP Sen. John Barrasso told ABC News.

"That's what President Biden has inherited, a recovering economy. So Republicans want to make sure people get shots in the arms, kids get back to school, people get back to work, but we are not going to stand with the Democrats as they try to exploit a crisis to send lots of money to big cities and to blue states," he said.

"It punished the states that opened earlier and it rewarded the states that stayed closed," he said."The bill is going to come due for this, and ultimately, as youBiden's plan created a formula to allocate money to states and localities based on the rate of unemployment, not overall population, to determine the amount of aid.Democrats are also entertaining possible modifications to the Senate filibuster, which would make it more difficult for the minority to block legislation.

Sen. Ron Johnson. R-Wis., is facing calls to resign after comments he made Thursday about Black Lives Matter and antifa that have been deemed"racist" and"unacceptable." Stephanopoulos clarified Johnson's comments, noting that 90% of Black Lives Matter protests were peaceful.

It’s not a covid relief , it Dem party slush fund

GOP has done nothing to help the People. Their counter proposal is to reduce tax for the Rich

This headline is pure garbage.

F for Fantastic

UNFOLLOW

Listen these Republicans Machiavellians, Want you to believe anything they say, While there going around different part of the state trying to change Voting right's of the people. So that it can go in there favor in 2024! Hello? People need to wake up! There not playing fair!!

Who the fuck cares what the seditionist party thinks?!?!?!?

ABC, this stinks, do better. Ugh. Your standards of journalism are in the toilet.

We’ll need the stimulus checks to pay for the rising gasoline and home energy costs.

John BarrAsshole is lying just like all of the GOP does. By all means don’t do anything to help the American public! Just figure out a way to help the rich & powerful. They need it more than we do. Disgusting 🤢!!

Talk about ruining your day the sky is a joke

That's not the only thing they're lying about. Beware. Don't let them fool you. They will inject us with brainwashing fluid and soon we will all be at the mercy of the socialists.

Yea. It’s obvious to anyone who bothered to look what’s in it

It's called American Rescue Plan for a reason

Hey Journalists need to stop forcing an artificial 'neutrality' by accepting/promoting the LIES presented by one party as a way to 'balance' the facts presented by the other party. No wonder people don't trust you anymore. ht: Sisyphus711

Shame on Sen. John Barrasso for lying. President Biden’s $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package IS NOT false advertising.

What has happened to you ABC? Who clears these absurd headlines?!

F for Fantastic

Why ?

A lot of people have problems with this bill. Just because you got paid $1,400 to keep your mouth close, doesn’t mean we have too. You should feel dirty you got used for $1,400. It’s like that used car you bought, the salesman said it was a limited edition and rare, it’s not.

Trump & GOP don’t care about us

please stop reporting the lies from the GOP and report about the many benefits of the bill.

Old white men who have trouble using their smartphones should not be running the country.

Grapes are always sour for the GOP

How much is he paid a year ?

I hate that I ever shook this man’s hand years ago, SenJohnBarrasso is awful

He’s not wrong. It’s a slush fund. BlueStateBailout

GOP Senator John Barrasso voted against the relief Covid package for his constituents. Now he is is gaslighting the people . Fixed it .

Don’t care what they think… the American ppl need help!!!

Notice donny jr has been silent on Twitter lately he may be swimming in Depositions & is choking on Criminal indictments coming he & daddies way soon!

Clickbait headline. Disgusting

ABC How about instead of just quoting, you actually investigate and inform the public about the bill and what’s in it that is NOT CIVID, so the public knows what our elected officials are doing.

And you're boosting his ridiculous charge? Click bait journalism should be beneath you, but apparently it's not.

GOP has done nothing to help the People. Their counter proposal is to reduce tax for the Rich

SenJohnBarrasso representing all the 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑 in Wyoming. He’s full of 🐑💩.

Planning to be popular this way ..dried dick cunt head

This is a perfect example of a mainstream media corporation copying & pasting Republican rhetoric without a disclaimer on disinformation from a sitting US Senator.

Relief package meant to ameliorate the suffering America people is not false advertising GOPJohn Barrasso but very important to Biden's administration to bring relief succor to suffering Americans Republican party under Trump leadership failed to address the looming crisis

SenJohnBarrasso 500k died from covid while Trump golfed.

Maybe it is false advertising. What is real advertising is that His Majesty Trump did little or nothing to help us the people fight the covid19.

Why would you give this crackpot a platform? Why? He’s trolling and you’re hoping the outrage will generate clicks. Shame on you.

And you are spreading his fake news for him with your headline.

'False Advertising'! ? What about the TWO so-called COVID packages passed by Republicans that merely gave MORE money to the ultra-rich and did NOTHING for COVID and nothing to help families? Ignorant hypocrites!

SenJohnBarrasso tell that to your own constituents who are already seeing money in their accounts and to the local businesses and governments who will finally get much needed aid.

Disney get some Democrats interviewed on too. And remove Trump from the Hall of Presidents at WaltDisneyWorld

He's right, this bill wasn't intended for the American people, it should be named The world's rescue plan.

The Republicans are Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Republicans are taking victory laps for the Democrats passing relief package while all of them voted against it, spreading conspiracies and lying.

More GQP lies & BS. The Grifters Opportunists Pandemidiots don’t care about the American people, our democracy, & hate our country. This is what they’re working on instead....

the real traitors to usa are biden supporters, they rigged 2000 to 2012 kill iraq to syria project, they black mail wesley clark, all for migrant crisis western nations

by the way ABC...why do you act like fox news?

So you not only put this liar on air, but also trumpet his lies in a headline here...then include a photo that is disconnected from this topic as a cherry on top. This should be used in journalism classes all over America as an example of the wrong way to go.

The article contradicts BarrASSo. I'm not sure why this became news. I guess it's filler for 2AM.

Who cares what these out of touch old fossils say?

and senator Barrasso has got his head up is ass

He's wrong. Is it hard pretending that there aren't Democrats in the Senate? You CAN interview them too.

Everything about him is false. Even his presidency. The corrpution in the world has got him here. Biden actually worked for the CCP party in China

This headline is pure garbage.

Nice journalism there 🙄 why don’t you cover the actual bill rather than carry the water for the GOP for clicks 🖕

Stop covering what the GOP says

People need a little more good news now.

Truely someone who cares nothing about his constituents. None of the GOP voted to help their own people who are suffering. They just talk about people. Small minded men without any 💡.

1.9 trillion. Thats enough money to make every man, woman and child in America a millionaire and plenty left over for COVID-19.

It's not even grade card time.🙄

You probably said similar things about the recovery act of 2009 and look what it did - saved auto industry and put the economy on the path to record high stock market and record low unemployment. You certainly didn’t vote for it either GOP Republican CovidRelief

Lol. The republicant's are becoming an even bigger joke with nothing but gimmicks and tax cuts to offer.

We experienced “F” for Four years with Trump !

New Scoop: More people live in Washington, DC than Wyoming. They deserve two Senators.

You guys dedicated an article to this

All that’s need to be said, “fact check indicated that 85% of the bill is directly related to the coronavirus pandemic” - money for vaccine, people, schools, and communities. So what, no favorite projects embedded?

Each GOP Senator or Houst rep. has to decide to step up and criticize Pres Biden or else “ No Money got You “.

Your stupid post is amplifying their false narrative. deletethispost

wait for inflation it's coming and soon .TAX &SPEND.

And who cares what GOP Senators have to say about anything?

Regardless, it’s so much more than the whinny republicans did in 4 years. It’s listening to a congress full of third graders. Really sad!

Pres. Biden is the President, not Former Pres. Trump ,when President Biden, did his Corona Virus, vaccines speech, it would have been unity helpful, to have thanked Trump, for Operation Warp Speed, the invention of the vaccines 3 to 5 years ahead of schedule & 700m doses invested

End of GOP soon

Another mouth with nothing but BS coming out.

Up yours

Barrasso has a long history of partisan lies. I don’t believe anything he says. Stupid are the people who voted him in office.

I’m guessing that is why no republicans signed the bill 🦶

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but why would ANYONE trust the opinion of someone who has been bootlicking and trying to legitimize lie after lie for the past four years? SenJohnBarrasso

I didn't hear a word from him when it was a $1.9 trillion dollar tax break for the rich thanks to trump.

Only 10% of the trillion is for corvid, all the rest is for pork

I guess the rich didn't get enough for the past 40 years.

Wake up every morning and thank God that Joe Biden is our President.

The folks who don't need the money should return the money. Oh I don't like every kid receiving 1400...4 what? There was no fat tax credit in the 70' to 90's. I had 3 kids and worked 2 jobs but I survived. No Govt help. My kids were latch key kids.

SenJohnBarrasso another GQP who has no clue!!

This misinformation about the truth must be borne by the American people by taking a step with those who oppose reform ... The next senator must know that democracy can help more, if necessary.

That money will help lots of Americans. No prisoners or illegals should receive and do ur research for farmers. It is not just Blk. All minorities. I'm paying for it.

The GOP covering for Trump's treason with Russia is false advertising. The GOP led Senate Intel committee concluded last August the man was a grave counterintelligence threat.' p.948 👇

GOP lost 4 US Senate seats in 2020, and this is a good example of why.

He seems to think Covid RELIEF is only about vaccinations and shouldn't have anything to do with economic relief.

Senator Barrasso has really poor math skills. Since when is $1 billion for approximately 580,000 WY residents unfair compared to $300 billion for approximately 40, 000,000 in CA?

Left wing propaganda, and boy does ABC News spread it on thick.

Why is the headline the falsehood?! In the story your own fact check says he’s lying. You know most people go by the headline & skim by! This is lousy journalism.

Sour grapes, eh?

John what’s wrong with your head are you cuckoo or what you Republicans I don’t know about you guys y’all need to leave the White House

OMG...you are acting like the dumped boyfriend

Why is it 1.9 trillion still with the cuts made!!!

Ya think?

If it comes out of the mouth of a GOP'r it's a lie. GOP is incapable of truth

Conservatives should not cash their checks. They should return their checks to the U.S. Treasury standing together in support of their political beliefs.

The part that is funny is that I really don’t see Republicans from the Senate or Congress out publicly advocating that people get the vaccine. The only former republican President participating is GW. Why is that? Sounds like Trump doesn’t love America.

Sen. Barasso! Three words for you!

No surprise there. The left is dishonest

False advertising ? LOL False advertising was the GOP Tax Scam of 2017 ! False advertising is the GOP giving to the rich hoping for a trickle down to the needy as a stimulus !

Whatever.

SenJohnBarrasso tell that to your constituents that are getting help from the program senator then let's see how fast they run you out of office.

💖 PLEASE READ💖👀 James will reject His new 💙 & die, w/out proper antirejection meds & follow-up, WE ARE OUT OF TIME to get this funded, transplant window opens in a week, PLEASE, if U can't donate, just retweet so others can see,Thank You! AboysHeart

Oh please. 😂

Yeah because only 9% actually went to the people!

Today’s GQP has proven to be for the wealthy. Their racist, classist messaging is irrelevant to 95% of Americans.

Don't care what the lying, seditionist, obstructionist, contrarian, anti-democratic, liberal/left hating lovers of the 1% neglecters of the working class gaslighting GOP members have to say about anything.

Shhhh

Speak for yourself!!

You have that grace confused with your master , Trumpf

Barrasso is a liar and he is so pissed off to have a real man as President he can’t stand it.

A trumper who can’t stand Dems taking care of Americans because Republicans failed.

Priceless coming from the grand obstructionist party who lies all the time, plus trying to take credit for the relief that they voted against. Can’t have it both ways. Democrats needs to be relentless in calling out the Republicans BS.

And let him get away with it. No pushback.

Stop covering the words of this clown!

🙄

He lied about the election. How can you trust a word he says?

Just ignore Biden and inject bleach. You’ll be fine.

I wonder what people would have said if TheDemocrats would have voted against the first two relief packages against the two relief deals. Republicans only support Americans when they have power.

Why does ABC keep spreading this bullshit propaganda?

Trump puppets like SenJohnBarrasso lie.

Trump gave checks to felons too. Call it both ways. I saw the dribble coming out of this mans mouth on national tv this am. He’s a joke. GOP are a bunch of anti American puppets. Heavy majority supports Covid package and not a single GOP members votes yes.

well yea its a F, debt collectors can take the money if you have a garnishment, that was in the other 2 relief packages and the stop the eviction that was in the other 2, only lasts until march 31st 2021

Didn’t realize you were in the stenography business.

These Republicans should stop embarrassing themselves. People are going to believe the rumors that they all have dementia.

The GOP is false, period.

He doesn’t represent the needs of the people . Vote him out. Biden gets a A.

Says the guy who voted for trillions in tax cuts for big corporations but not help for low income and middle class Americans. Your loyalties are clear sir. Self serving and the 1%.

This $1400 payment isn’t false😂

Whatever. It’s just noise in the background now.

Just a bunch of kids in DC.

Everything about Biden is false

GOP: The Party of Silly Props and Sound Bites.

A toddler could've told me that.

STOP HATING!!
