GOP lawmaker twice blocks up-or-down vote on $1,200 stimulus checks
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) twice on Friday objected to a vote on a standalone stimulus check bill introduced last week by Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
Hawley and Sanders both tried to put the proposal up for an up-and-down vote on a second round of $1,200 stimulus checks on Friday, as Democratic and Republican leaders try to finalize a larger stimulus deal that includes smaller direct payments of around $600-$700 per person.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.He’s a millionaire, $1,200 to him is pocket change. And yet he’s afraid that people who can’t pay their rent or electric bill will stop working if they get that check. Until Republican masses figure out their representatives would rather see them starve than pay higher taxes on the money they hoard, nothing will change.
