Pelosi Says GOP ‘Immoral’
For not extending unemployment benefits.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) criticized Republicans for their “immoral” stance of blocking yet another extension of unemployment benefits. “It is unconscionable that the House has not acted to renew emergency unemployment insurance,” she said. “Never before has Congress allowed emergency unemployment insurance to expire while long-term unemployment rates have remained so high.” To be clear, Democrats have been extending these benefits for years during the Obama “recovery,” obviously to little avail. What’s unconscionable is that Democrats continue to think taking money from one group of people and giving it to another group of people is the right answer. They have a strange definition of morality.
