Rep. Max Rose (D-NY) has called out House Speaker Pelosi for blocking a clean funding increase for the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).
Rose’s condemnation follows reports that Pelosi wants concessions to enact more of her far-left agenda.
Townhall’s Cortney O’Brien has more:
The Payment Protection Program, set up to relieve small businesses that have suffered during the coronavirus pandemic and economic shutdown, ran out of money on Thursday. Congress could have added another $250 billion to the program last week but Democrats blocked the vote.
Rep. Rose, who represents Staten Island, shared the following message with Pelosi and other Democratic leaders.
The Paycheck Protection Program needs to be replenished, and done so quickly. Let’s protect our small businesses, hospitals and make sure local governments don’t have to lay-off first responders.
Only in DC would be this be difficult. Let’s get this done.https://t.co/xeg6HjMqJ8

Sounds like he was stealing lines from Republicans like Sen. John Thune (R-SD) or GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy. On Friday Thune accused Democrats of trying to “hijack the process” to enact some “unrelated agenda items.” And for days McCarthy has been trying to fathom why Pelosi can’t see eye-to-eye with them on this emergency issue.
I hesitate to give Rep. Rose a pat on the back. After all, he was following the lead of Sens. Kyrsten Sinema (D-NY) and Tina Smith (D-MN), two of the first Democrats to break ranks with party leadership.
Meanwhile, Speaker Pelosi is making the most of softball interview questions and showing off her refrigerator stock full of ice cream on “The Late Late Show With James Corden.”
Nancy promises to help the American people as soon as she is done giving us a tour of her $24K refrigerator. https://t.co/itl92DONxY

Do You Approve of Trump’s COVID-19 Response? [TAKE THE SURVEY]
It used to be where this was not real news because a lot of Democrats used to do things for all of the people over what their party agenda’s were.
Those days are gone Roy. They are radicals now and we must vote them out.
Bubba Love – This is so obviously wrong. There should be NO argument that they release more money for small businesses. I don’t understand why more Dems aren’t coming forward. In fact, I don’t understand why conscientious Dems don’t switch parties. The Democratic Party of JFK is dead and has been for a long time. It was shameful of Pelosi flaunting her expensive ice cream freezer along with her expensive ice cream as a lot of people are out of work and small businesses are struggling to stay open. If that doesn’t open some of the eyes of Dem voters, then nothing will. I really hope it has opened some eyes though. This is just a smidgen of what they can expect if the Dems are ever in power again.
I wish new crews would go to Nancy’s district and see the filth and sadness of their homeless community while she dictates like Hitler to the rest of America. I hope this Rep. is not the only one who is sick of her.
I hope California democrats wake up and do not vote her into office again! Pelosi has lost touch with the american people and has been on a power trip ever since President Trump was elected. Think of all the effort she, Schumer, Nadler and Schif have put into removing Trump with Russia collusion and impeachment and now talking about another impeachment. People are tired of these political power plays it is time to start doing the people’s business!
To tell the truth, I think just about everyone is SICK of that evil Pelosi nut case! Does she think she’s some kind of god, perhaps she does, just maybe!
Democrats don’t care about the American people. They only care about hurting Trump! Like China, Democrats will let people die to achieve their goals.
That is so sad but true. The Democratic party today is nothing like the party is today. It is all liberal, communistic far left people. These people want to take down America and they don’t care about the fallout. Please people remember this at the polls.
The young demorat voters are lemmings and will jump off a cliff if Nancy tells them to.
True. Plus people are just terrified that she will pay back those who don’t tow her party line.
I have the same argument against Pelosi but the things she is doing are just what all the D’s want. They think we are going to go along while they change us to a Communist country. They all keep saying this is their chance to turn our country to a different way They ignore the fact that we want it to remain free.
L A VOTERS ARE STUPID TO KEEP VOTING NANCY PELOSI IN OFFICE YEAR AFTER YEAR.
NANCY IS THE ONE WHO MAKING CALIFORNIA THE MOST HOME LESS STATES.
ADD TO THAT WATERS AND MORE OF THERE OLD DEMOCRAT POWER HUNGARY CONGRESS MEN AND WOMEN IN L. A .
IF YOU LIKE MORE HOME LESS KEEP VOTING THEM IN.
ARE YOU STILL STUPID .
I guess someone tells them to tow the party line it will be a lifetime of benefits and money in their pockets. Seems to be the way it happens, just look at Harry Reid, feinstein, pelosi – how much wealth they have ammased.
Only thing is, you can’t take it with you.
GOT THAT RIGHT.
I believe the Democrats died before J.F.K. did. .They are not the party that they were in 1950.
I hope this is a good sign that even among the democrats there a few that still are decent and start questioning this criminal speaker.
the very few democrats that have any sort of decency in them . Swith partys
You have quite a memory. Cite the last thing Piglosi & her sheep followers have done for the average American.
THE DEMOCRATS AGENDA IS TO OBTAIN AND SUSTAIN POWER AND CONTROL! THEY WILL HOLD POWER AT “ALL” COSTS. AT THE COST OF YOUR PROSPERITY! AT THE COST OF YOUR HEALTH! AT THE COST OF YOUR LIFE! LITERALLY, THEY WILL MAINTAIN POWER EVEN IF IT KILLS YOU, ME, US! THEY HAVE BECOME A POWER HUNGRY GROUP OF MANIACAL MONSTERS WHO CARE ONLY FOR THEMSELVES! THEY HAVE LONG SINCE FAILED TO SERVE THE NEEDS OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!
my comment is awaiting moderation! don’t you mean modification to suit face books views and agenda?
I dont understand why any comment needs moderation, by who? They should publish your comments and your thoughts. We should be free to speak our minds unless it is threatening someone’s life or just one swear word after another.
I’d like to know who the moderators are and their qualifications. I doubt my comment will get past the so called communist moderators.. moderators sounds just like a communist society.
Don’t forget the reason the democrats have become so radical. It’s power and the illegal money and the few people who gain a lot of control. Look how much money China gave to Biden and son. Why did the democrats close all our manufacturing, as the rest of the world to China. China has bought up land including mineral rights in almost every country in the world. A lot in South America. This gave them the money, control to do whatever they want. Electing Biden will make it worse.
No it should make better
A P, ?
Pelosi is for the new world order, she and the Democrats are working together to pass this while this virus is going on. People wehave to wake up but I have a great feeling that the second coming is about here. People you better get you life right with the Lord.
I agree with you about the second coming. He can come at any minute. God is fed up with the way people are acting about how much they have and not giving to people who need it.
Amen to you and Carolyn both. It’s sad to watch just how many that can’t see what’s right before them. Praise God that we’re so much closer for the return of Jesus. No more evil, pain, hunger or suffering for any reason. I pray many more wake up while they’ve still the time and chance to do so.
Pelosi is a cancer on our country. She perfectly exemplifies the dire need for Term Limits.
She would have been gone long ago.
Longevity and power breeds corruption in politics.
I think she’s in the process of limiting her time in office.
Not really Gene. Her voters will keep voting for her years after she is dead,
Gene Storton – Are you kidding? She is power hungry. She will only be in the process of limiting her time in office when she’s on her death bed. She will then appoint (yes, not vote) someone that she’s groomed to take her place.
That’s how Demoncrats [est. 2012] have been doing business in California for decades.
And San Franshitsco will keep electing her as long as her corpse can be animated.
She has been grooming her daughter. Have you noticed the same vile comments coming from her daughter. Until recently no one knew she had a daughter, then suddenly her daughter started commenting about Trump . The media has been giving the daughter a platform. We know where that leads.
we can only hope you are right.
They colluded with the Chinese to spread this virus. Why would they want to fo anything to help?
I agree so damn corrupt Pelosi and Crooked Schumer both got to go arrest them ASAP
Could we add sorass and his money as a helper? Yeah the rats knew what was going to happen. But they may not have known it would spread around the world. Me thinks OUR country was the target! And of course our President!
Sinema is a Rep for Arizona not NY
Senator Sinema is a elected delegate from Arizona. Let the voters in Arizona get it right.
Make sure you all vote Republican.
It’s all talk and nothing ever happens it’s the same thing with AOC,Biden,Clinton,Schiff and on and on it’s all BS
Sadly, the evil old b*tch will most likely get re-elected. Get ready for 2 more years of the Democrat Dog & Pony Show starring Nasty Nancy, Nadless Nadler and Schiff the Schitt.
Not if we take back the majority in the house.
make sure you and all your friends old and new vote these sobs out and take over everything in Dc Vote 100% Republican on every ballot and don’t forget to vote out the sobs dressed in Replubican clothes but are really Demcrats
Pelosi is a poor excuse for a congresswomen and I hope the people of San Francisco open their eyes and vote her out in November. She not only doesn’t care about you, she doesn’t care about all Americans. She only cares about herself and the power of her position. Time to get back to congressmen representing the people instead of the people making them rich.
San Fran will reelect her as long as her corpse can be animated.
She should be the poster example for why we need both Term Limits and Mandatory Drug and Alcohol Testing [the same as for Truck Drivers] for every Member of Congress
VOTE AND VOTE STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN TICKET! THEN VOTE FOR TERM LIMITS!
A lot of this would stop if only the president had line item veto power. I cannot understand why this has never been able to become law.
If you actually paid attention to how Congress “works” you would have understanding.
The only way to get a Line Item for POTUS, just like Term L:imits, is through an Article V Process.
At one time there was line item veto but it was repealed. I would bet it was a Democratic congress. There shouldn’t be anything not relevant to the bill included in the bill to start with and it should be 1000 pages either.
Only way to end lunacy in America is to created a federal investigation agency to investigate propaganda fake news. One party one sided unless they admit that is their purpose. Outlets, magazines, press, celebs, must be exposed or sued by government for pushing fake news. That propaganda is the tool of the democratic socialist workers party working day and night to destroy the republic through open borders, and near new world order Global socialism type of communism under the name of socialism. We have countless millions of morons due to media and propaganda news outlets, brain dead zombies drooling for our blood, the same loads of human shit that created this, cry like babies when their called out for it. Never in my life did the majority of Americans believe openly 95% of news outlets are liars supporting one party bias propaganda 24/7. Press, magazines, celebs, and media using the dumbest members to push a leftest agenda. Only communist countries under Mao and Stalin did this, as did the fascist under Hitler, we had comrade Great leader Obama for leftest news to worship and liberals to worship while covering his illegal deeds. Their down right evil demented and sick.
Could it be possible there is a Democrat in Congress who is also an American? What a refreshing thought. Kudos to this gentlemen or using his own common sense to condemn the anti-American Speaker of the House. She should be run out of town and definitely out of our government.

There are now 15 democrats, including Ms. Sinema, who have had it with Pelosi. She is sub-human and needs to go. Sub humans in the animal kingdom lack the brain capacity to make rational decisions. She has some company in the sub-human category.
Looks like some may be finally waking up to the fact their gravy train job may be in danger if they continue to put their faith in Pelosi. She hates everything this country stands for.
They need to remove Speaker Pelosi from her speaker position
The only problem is they might appoint someone worse like the Bronx bimbo
OR Scummy Schumer, or Schiffty, or Waters, and on and on.
The old hag with a gavel knows that she is all washed up and her career is OVER! So she is taking her revenge on the American people now while she can, just for spite!!
EVERYONE has had enough of DRUNKEN Nancy Puelosi
Democrat the New Definition of American Terrorist. The party is trying to destroy OUR western civilization. That are Anti anything America was founded on. The Democratic Party needs to be Dismantled
Please get the old bitch out of Washington and In to a nursing facility.
Trump and ALL Republicans need to say a giant NO to any SBA extension. If the Republicans say yes to anything Pelosi wants Trump must veto the bill when it hits his desk.
So a Democrap finally grew a pair??? I find that hard to believe. Now if he can only convince others to do the same. The biggest shock of this all is that the Democrap is from New York.
Max Rose its time for you to leave the DARK SIDE . They will drag you down
Max Rose .. wanted , & backed the IMPEACHMENT of OUR PRESIDENT… DO NOT TRUST HIM… Staten Island made a terrible mistake voting for him.. ONE TERM TURD.
So, msm is this news worthy?
We must vote Straight GOP November 2020!!! Dems are already filling out mail in voter forms for deceased citizens in every state!!! P.S. Oprah has had enough prayers, someone please remove the ad.
She has no regard for the average American. Anyone who would post eating icecream with a 24000.00 refrigerator while holding up passing legislation for small business owners is beyond belief. I would like to hear from you Democrats to defend her position.
While Pelosi’s district in California is a Schiff Hole she wants to have open borders and pay
illegal aliens compensation. The governor wants to give them $125-million for relief. Newsom claims they pay $2.5-billion in state and local taxes. The problem is it costs the taxpayers
of California $23-billion to support them to live in California. Democrats seem to have a problem with taxpayers money. They seem to think they own the money we pay in taxes.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has announced a $125-million relief effort for illegal immigrants in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
California will offer $500 each to 150,000 adults living in the country illegally who were not included in the $2.2-trillion stimulus package passed by Congress.
Californians bear an enormous fiscal burden resulting from playing host to a massive illegal alien population estimated to consist of almost 3 million foreign nationals. The annual expenditure of state and local tax dollars on services for that population and their children is $23 billion. That total amounts to a yearly burden of about $1,800 for each legally present California household. These pathetic Democrats need to be votes out of office.
How about they give them the 500.00 to leave the USA and to go home that I could live with!
She’s trying to get her ice cream and chocolate added into the bill before it’s approved. That and money for Planned Parenthood. They complain about the guns killing everybody, yet THEY kill in the WOMB, with no problem.
Gee Bemused, hopefully you’re wrong and living in San Francisco i pray to God you’re wrong. There are a lot of conservatives and others here who are sick and tired of this disgusting slug sucking on the taxpayers tit, getting richer and richer all while she flips America the ‘bird’ behind her back and’s doing nothing to improve things here all while San Francisco the one time jewel of California becomes more and more unlivable, unaffordable and more third world than some third world cities. Sadly and unfortunately it certainly has earned the recent moniker the ‘doo doo’ capital of America. All you have to do is open your eyes and nose to the reality all around you. Not all of us voted for vote for this piece of SHIT or any of her liberal cronies and minions and wouldn’t piss or spit on ‘nasty’ ‘pigliosi’, ‘fart’ faced feinstein or ‘gruesome newsom if they were n fire. You can be assured of this.
California needs to a Michigan around Pelosis “mansion” with militia and remove her from office period. DMV in California can’t ask if people are legal citizens and want to vote. They ask do want to register and they sign em up! That’s why her and her crew want open borders. This is awful to what she is doing in her self righteous self . She has no reason to fear because Cali keeps letting her get away with it!
Wow!!! No need to make another comment. All of you have pretty much covered the snake den. It’s about 95% od the demonrat party that needs to be gone.
Unfortunately, there are only two things that will move Pelosi: a revolt within her own party, or swarms of angry voters. Or both.
Good for the young dim wit. And shame on the old mafia queen Nanc dim wit leader. We all know what she is doing. So as a warning to the GOP. Do not give this bitch a thing. Tired of this political blackmail so she can stuff ballots, pay illegals during the crisis like they were entitled citizens like her nephew Newsom is doing with funds he should use for other things that is our money from his federal relief. CA is broke, and we are being used to fund a Sanctuary? YA GOTTA BE KIDDING!
A Democrat from New York opposes Pelosi publicly ?
He is supporting Trump and that’s good b/c New York is due to turn back to Republican with the dictatorship duo of Cuomo and DiBlasio losing to their lies – the USS COMFORT is positive proof of their lies – a thousand-bed ship that has a handful of patients so the hospitals were not under stress at all so why on earth are their patients with the virus in the halls then?
A photo op.
Pelosi is human scum and a big to-do needs to be had in Congress before Trump moves in to check Pelosi and that will mean shutting down Congress and he will enact Orders to take care of Americans.
California is so messed up politically, I don’t know why they pretend to conduct a vote! I know there has to be a lot of people there who are pretty sick of nancy’s despicable behavior too (assuming they haven’t all moved out of that poor abused pit of a State), but they are Liberally Oppressed and over run. I used to live in California and can remember a time when it was a lovely place to live. What a tragic loss!
My prayers are with the people in California who are struggling daily to even feed their families and have a roof over their heads.Please good People of California do NOT allow Pelosi and her cronies back in office. Pelosi has NO HEART for the People! She thinks it’s funny to go on National television bragging about her gourmet ice cream in her 2 stainless state of the art refrigerators while people in her district are hungry & homeless?? Not to even mention being paid almost $250k yr of YOUR TAX DOLLARS to sit @ home in her mansion not lifting a finger to help the Great state of California or caring that you’ve lost your job? To top her ice cream she sits does nothing only to criticize President Trump, Vice President Pence & Task force of many who have given 100% of their efforts to save lives and help US get back to work!! Pelosi needs Prayer & out of Governing the People!!!
Maybe we’re seeing the beginnings of a small backlash to the iron fists of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schummer. They’ve given Fancy Nancy enough rope, it’ time to reel her in. If you don’t like the direction the democrats are gong, there are alternatives.
