Rep. Debbie Lesko (R-Az.) voted ‘no’ on the House’s COVID-19 relief bill, claiming that the stimulus package is a partisan project designed to favor the leftists.

Lesko went on Twitter to tell her constituents that she opposed the bill. On Twitter she wrote, “I am voting NO on Pelosi’s Partisan Payoff bill! Only 9% of this bill is about real COVID-19 relief, the rest of this $1.9 trillion package funds Pelosi’s partisan pet projects and the agenda of the radical left!”

Lesko is not the only one who went on social media to bash the stimulus package. Rep. John Katko (R-NY.) also went on Twitter to express his outrage against the expensive relief bill. Katko said that the bill was too expensive and he also criticized some of the provisions of the bill, specifically the $15 minimum wage hike which he says could cripple small businesses across the country.

Lesko echoed Katko and her other fellow Republicans’ sentiments on the bill, accusing the Democrats of not truly addressing the pandemic but using Band-Aid solutions and funding their pet projects.
