Six Texas Republicans oppose coronavirus relief deal that sailed through House; Chip Roy called it ‘welfare’

WASHINGTON — Six Texas Republicans voted against the coronavirus relief package that sailed through the House early Saturday morning.

The sweeping legislation includes free testing for COVID-19 for people without insurance, as well as paid sick leave, $1 billion in food aid, extended unemployment benefits and other measures to help Americans affected by the spreading virus.

Freshman Rep. Chip Roy, R-Austin, called it “welfare” that would do “more harm than good” — an assertion that prompted Democrats to accuse him of pulling a “political stunt” that puts Texans at risk.

The House approved the bill 363-40, with the vast majority of Texans in both parties voting for it and touting the $2.2 billion it provides for prevention, preparedness and response.
