AOC Says Republicans Holding Stimulus Check Hostage Over Demand for Corporate COVID Immunity
Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has blamed delay of a second stimulus check on Republicans, saying that they're demanding corporate COVID legal immunity to be included in the relief deal.
"If you want to know why COVID relief is tied up in Congress, one key reason is that Republicans are demanding legal immunity for corporations so they can expose their workers to COVID without repercussions," the progressive lawmaker tweeted on Tuesday afternoon. "Dems don't want you to die for a check. That's what we're fighting over."
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has made a "liability shield" for corporations a crucial demand in the stimulus negotiations that have been ongoing for five months with no deal in sight.
As America's COVID cases surge in the country's third wave, immunity from civil liability during these uncertain and dangerous times would not prevent harm or injury. Rather, it would shift some burden and costs onto the individual, away from businesses.
