Nice try, House Speaker Pelosi, but your "new" COVID relief bill is the same old liberal wish list we saw before, GOP leader Kevin McCarthy and other Republican leaders are noting.
Republicans did, however, point out one difference in her latest offering. Pelosi's most recent stimulus package cuts police funding by $600 million. The original package included $300 million for Community Oriented Police Services Programs, which help hire and rehire additional officers, and it provided $300 million for Byrne Justice Assistance Grants, which help law enforcement purchase personal protective equipment and to cover costs to control coronavirus in prisons, as reported by Fox News.
