Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop responds to Mitch McConnell's comment that cities and states seeking coronavirus aid should just file for bankruptcy.

As Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and other Republicans refuse to provide coronavirus relief to Democratic-led cities and states grappling with the coronavirus, the mayor of the second-largest city in New Jersey is firing back.

Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop, a Democrat whose city, second in population in the state only to Newark, has been hit hard by the pandemic, said cities seeking coronavirus aid are not asking for bailouts.

In an interview with the American Independent, Fulop said he and other city and state leaders simply want the same financial help to deal with the hardships caused by the coronavirus that corporations have received.

Speaking of McConnell, Fulop said, "Our goal at this point is no different than how he's prioritized big corporations that they've bailed out as of now, whether it's Carnival or Boeing or United Airlines."

#Moscow Mitch is going around and trying to lecture that in democratic controlled offices that this quote from him says everything about his libertarian way of thinking..........and other POS is that deadbeat party of grifters...........

"McConnell told Fox News in April: "We're not interested in solving their pension problems for them. We're not interested in rescuing them from bad decisions they've made in the past, we're not going to let them take advantage of this pandemic to solve a lot of problems that they created themselves themselves and bad decisions in the past."


SO #Moscow Mitch................your a freeloader, and a dead beat freeloader to bat, you get a paycheck from taxpayers and we pay for your pension and retirement, health care, and your corrupt wife also gets a free ride.......that's a problem and we are not interested i in rescuing you and your wife..............in fact I am going to find out if we can have your retirement, benefits forfeited when we vote you out of office, lets see how that shoe fits up your ass and any other fascist libertarian republican deadbeat freeloaders...........
