COVID relief bill offers convicted murderers stimulus checks, Cotton slams
Fox News
Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., slammed the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill passed by Senate Democrats Saturday, listing off a number of convicted murderers who would receive stimulus checks under the bill.
Inmates are included among those who receive stimulus checks, just as they were in both of the previous Covid relief bills that offered $1,200 and $600 checks. Cotton voted for both of those bills. The IRS had tried to withhold stimulus checks from incarcerated individuals, but a court forced their hand to offer the checks in September. There was nothing written in the previous two relief bills or the one passed Saturday against inmates receiving checks.
