Republicans are rallying against Democrats’ proposed $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill, with Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) the latest to pan the package as a wish list of liberal spending priorities unrelated to the pandemic.

Kennedy made the remarks on Fox News‘ “America’s Newsroom” on Feb. 25, when he alleged that “the profligacy is mind-numbing.”
