Ron Johnson Makes Senate Read 600-Page COVID Relief Bill Aloud

Biden said he hoped for “quick action” in the Senate after the bill passed the House early Saturday morning, and Democrats aim to have the bill on his desk before March 14, when the current federal unemployment benefits expire.

Johnson had announced his intentions a day earlier, and said he would stay on the floor to make sure the entire bill was read. “It’s not about delaying things,” he told Politico. “It’s about educating the public about what this bill is and what this bill isn’t. And it isn’t a COVID relief bill.” On Johnson’s plan, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said on the Senate floor, “We are delighted that the senator from Wisconsin wants to give the American people another opportunity to hear what’s in the American Rescue Plan. We Democrats want America to hear what’s in the plan.”

wrong, it's actually gonna be 3 hours of debate

Ron was all by himself listening late into the night... the stink won’t wear off him. 77% of Americans want this passed. The wrong hill to die on.

Republicans Playing Games! They don’t care about starving Americans!😩

Republicans literally make a mockery of our democracy.

Now we know why the Democrats wrote this bill in its length. To torture the clerks. You have to appropriate flagrancy where it's warranted.

Breaking news: US Senate rules are stupid

Ridiculous stunt.

Okay Google, What does a Senate Clerk make per hour and is there overtime pay?
