Kentucky Republican Rep. Thomas Massie tried to delay the voting on COVID-19 relief bill by objecting a roll call voting that would not require the presence of all members in Washington. Eventually, he failed to do this as the quorum of the House members blocked his request.
Mr Massie thinks his colleagues are being too cautious, while the coronavirus related bill package could have worse consequences than the virus itself. That is why he demanded all Representatives being present in the House chamber.
In Mr Massie’s opinion all the government would do with the new bill they want to vote is killing medium and small business as social isolation immobilizes people leaving them little to no opportunity to work. He tweeted about this on his social media page.
