Warren bill would divert $10B in Trump border wall funds to fight coronavirus
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Sen. Elizabeth Being Native American has been part of my story since the day I was bornWarren  ...Dem Senatrix from Massachussetts, who traces her noble lineage all the way back to Big Chief Spouting Bull. It has been alleged that she speaks with forked tongue but she denies that. She had a DNA test to prove her lineage and it turns out she's colorless...proposed diverting billions of dollars of funding for President Trump's border wall to government efforts to respond to the coronavirus. She's flailing Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat, introduced the Prioritizing Pandemic Prevention Act on Thursday to require that approximately $10 billion be redirected from fence projects along the U.S.-Mexico border to the Department of Health and Human Services and U.S. Agency for International Development to make up for the money Congress will spend preparing for and responding to the virus. "The coronavirus outbreak poses serious health, diplomatic, and economic threats to the United States, and we must be prepared to confront it head-on," Warren said in a statement. "Rather than use taxpayer dollars to pay for a monument to hate and division, my bill will help ensure that the federal government has the resources it needs to adequately respond to this emergency." The loss of $10 billion would wipe out more than half of the White House's wall coffers, which sit at $18 billion ‐ pending Trump getting the $2 billion requested from Congress in fiscal 2021 and taking $3.8 billion from defense counternarcotic funding, as planned.
