This has to be a joke!
Thanks to President Joe Biden, we have learned that the federal government handed out a whopping $783.5 million to prisoners as part of the American Rescue Plan.
According to Fox News, 560k incarcerated individuals received payments of $1,400.
“Earlier this year, every single Senate Democrat voted to give stimulus checks to violent criminals in prison,” Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., told Fox News.
“Sending cash to murderers and rapists in prison has nothing to do with solving the pandemic or improving the economy. Now, the same people who sent hundreds of millions of dollars as gifts to these inmates want to spend trillions more in an even bigger and more partisan bill.”
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the Boston Bomber, murdered three people and terrorized a city.
He’ll be getting a $1,400 stimulus check as part of the Democrats’ “COVID relief” bill.
