House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has a "bad case of selective hearing" when it comes to the coronavirus relief bill because President Donald Trump didn't only call for releasing $2,000 checks, Rep. James Comer said Thursday.

"The Republicans wanted to file a unanimous consent to reduce the wasteful spending in that COVID bill," the Kentucky Republican said on Fox News' "America's Newsroom." "What Nancy Pelosi has right now is a bad case of selective hearing because what the president said was he wanted to increase the stimulus direct payments from $600 to $2,000, but also said he wanted to reduce all that wasteful spending that Nancy Pelosi put in that bill."

House Republicans Thursday morning shot down the Democrats' bid to pass Trump's demand for the higher direct payments. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer sought the unanimous approval of all House members for the bigger checks, but Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who was not present in the chamber, denied approval.

"I think what the president should do now is he should veto the bill if Pelosi is unwilling to cut the waste out and start all over because 90% of the bill has bipartisan support," said Comer.

Meanwhile, the American people are watching a process that is awful, he said.

"Putting lots of different bills into one vote and then no debate, no amendment, not enough time for everyone to completely digest the bill, that is not what the American people want," said Comer. "That's a broken Congress because of Nancy Pelosi."

He added that Trump did a "great job" bringing attention to the lower stimulus payments and the extra spending in the package.

"Now it is up to Congress to right this wrong," said Comer. "I appreciate the Republicans standing firm on that and hope we can eliminate the waste, fraud, and abuse in the budget."

However, Pelosi puts "politics ahead of people," said Comer.

"This is perfectly demonstrated in this bill, by how she conducted the process," said Comer, adding that in the past 48 hours, Americans have seen the process Pelosi put in place, and "they are not satisfied with that, even the liberals."

The new COVID relief package is an insult to the American people.

It is packed with billions of dollars in aid, some of it to other countries, and all the American people will get is a check for $600.

The government shut down people’s businesses and have driven many people to the brink of collapse as a result, but they have the nerve to give the Kennedy Center billions of dollars and more billions to the country of Pakistan for gender programs.

Adding insult to injury, Nancy Pelosi just said the $600 checks are ‘significant.’

Nancy Pelosi’s Second Stimulus Bill Speech Ridiculed for Calling $600 ‘Significant’

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Monday faced criticism after saying that the $600 direct payments included in a new economic relief package are “significant.”

During a lengthy speech on the House floor, Pelosi said that Democrats were pushing for $1,200 direct payments, the amount paid out under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, but they faced resistance from Republicans.

“We also have in the legislation direct payments, which were not in the Republican bill, to America’s working families,” Pelosi said during the speech. “I would like them to have been bigger, but they are significant and they will be going out soon.”

Pelosi’s comments came after legislators agreed on a $900 billion relief package on Sunday. But social media users quickly criticized her for calling $600 payments significant.

Many people can’t even pay a month’s rent with $600.

Are you outraged? You should be. It’s your money, not theirs.

You can’t make this up…

Pelosi in 2018 called $1,000+ bonuses being handed out by businesses after tax cuts “crumbs” and “pathetic” but just called the $600 stimulus checks “significant.

Pelosi Announces Every $600 Check Will Come With Free Slice Of Cake

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Nancy Pelosi has announced that every $600 stimulus check will come with a free slice of cake for Americans to eat. She made the announcement in a speech yesterday after the stimulus bill was criticized for not doing enough for the middle class. The amendment to the $900 billion stimulus bill, coupled with the reasonable $2.3 trillion spending bill for the federal government, means that in addition to getting $600 created out of thin air, each American will get a slice of chocolate cake.

"Americans have been suffering, so we need to let them eat cake," she said in front of Congress yesterday. "We closed down their businesses for the past nine months, so it's the least we can do. Really. I do mean that. The least."

Congress considered ice cream for every America, but Pelosi vetoed it as it was too expensive to give every American a $13 quart of the brand she eats. There was also talk of giving the option of vanilla cake, but that was shot down as being racist.
